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?

@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, https://rclone.org/docs/#transfers-n

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
