Feature Request: Multi-threaded uploader

[haridsv]

I just got the uploader to work and I can see the pictures appearing on my Flickr account, so this is great. However, I noticed that it is taking a very long time to upload each picture. Based on my ISP and the time it usually takes with other uploads, this is very unusual, and perhaps a problem with the Flickr service itself. However, it made me wonder if using multiple threads to upload could effectively improve the bandwidth utilization. Perhaps a simple change could be to allow a thread count to be specified and divide the image set among these threads. Is there something from the API side that would make this difficult or impossible?

It's a good idea, I might have to see if it's possible. Some things do seem hellishly slow on Flickr's end too - creating the sets takes minutes occasionally, and there you are only uploading a smallish amount of text.

It would appear that someone has committed something that looks like this to the old google code version of this...

Nice. I wasn't expect that. I'll see if I can integrate that change :-)
