Using multi-thread-streams and transfers?

Help and Support
1

If we use --multi-thread-streams=0 and also --transfers 4 rclone transfers 4 files at the same time, but why? If multi-thread copying is disabled it should be transferring files one at a time, isn't it? I'm transferring local to local on Debian.

rclone v1.66.0
- os/version: debian 11.8 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.2.16-20-bpo11-pve (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

What I want to achieve is to copy one file at a time, copying several files at the same time from a mechanical disk to another mechanical disk isn't worst than copying one at a time?

Transfers is for the # of active transfers at a time. If you want only 1 at a time, set it to 1.

Multi threaded mean each transfer can use x streams. Doesn't work on a mount though.

I was thinking something like that. Is in local to local any point on using more than 1 thread and 1 transfer? On mechanical drives
