-P N download N files in parallel
However, get does not accept a value for N. Concurrent downloads work (the limit might be taken from net:connection-limit instead), but attempting to provide a limit like -P 4 will see "4" as a file name. mget -P, on the other hand, does require a number for N.
I'm not sure if this is intentional and just a documentation issue, or if both commands should accept a specified limit. It's also possible that put and mput have a similar problem, but I can't test this due to lack of write permissions on the server.
Closely related: the -P option is completely missing from the online help for get, mget, put, and mput in src/commands.cc.
