Rclone How Good As Coud to PC downloader

I was wondering how good rclone can be for downloading a file or files from your cloud to local PC.
How dose it handle downloads;
Can it open multiple connection to a file for faster download ?
can it resume?
Can it shutdown the PC when the job is done?

Can it open multiple connection to a file for faster download ?
YES

can it resume?
YES

Can it shutdown the PC when the job is done?
you can write a simple script, if rclone exits with error then shutdown

@asdffdsa,
Thank you so much for being here and being so helpful. Every time I had a question you have been of precious and great help. :+1:

dose rclone by default open multiple connections when you choose copy to local folder or should i add any extra string? if yes what should I add?

for resume it will probably do it by default when the unfinished file is present in the download folder?

yes, Documentation

no, rclone does not resume parital downloads.
if you are uploading a file and for whatever reason the upload fails and leaves a partial file in the dest
then next time rclone is run, it will compare the source file and dest file, notice the that file size is differrent and re-upload the entire file
