How to limit the number of simultaneous downloads? #13774

Checklist

What is the idea?

Conda is pretty heavy on shared HPC file systems. I thought, reducing the number of downloads would be one way of reducing the impact.

cat .condarc 
>default_threads: 4

I used this setting, but this did not limit the number of downloads. Is there another way to archieve this?

Why is this needed?

Reduce foodprint on HPC systems with shared NFS file system.

What should happen?

@sorenwacker,

I think fetch_threads is the setting you are looking for. Could you please try that and let us know if this works for you? Please close this feature request if so.
