Is it possible to configure this to run file chunks joining and file verifications in a multithreaded way (parallel)?

Is it possible to configure this to run file chunks joining and file verifications in a multithreaded way (parallel)? The program currently has to run in series

Hi. The bottleneck when joining chunks is the speed of the hard disk. Using multiple threads would not speed up the process.

As for file verification, the algorithm choosen by MEGA (CBC-MAC) can NOT be parallelized, it is technically impossible.
