Multi-Thread FTP Uploads?

Thanks for the kind words.

Duplicity does indeed the --asynchronous-upload option, but currently only
for one thread at a time. You are more than welcome to enhance the current
code to allow more threads of execution. You'll need to look into
asyncscheduler.py for the code and how it's used. I'm sure there will be
plenty of challenges.

Apologies, I know this will be in the remainder of the code, which seems very well documented, but I'm struggling to find all the places that the scheduler is called.

Once you've created the first volume Are you then doing volume creation at level 1 and upload at level 1 followed by a call to insert_barrier?

If so, would a workaround (for 2 upload threads) be:
 Volume level 1
 upload level 2
 volume level 1
 upload level 2
 insert_barrier

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick entirely?
