Re: parsort not using --parallel parameter

[Jake VanEck]

ack, I'm sorry. I meant to type parsort ..... I'm an idiot

parsort -u --parallel=4 -S 200M -T /mnt/c/temp /mnt/d/wordlists/words02

and yes, I limit the memory because the file I'm sorting is around 4TB in size

btw. Do you need to limit the memory usage with -S 200M ?
It does slow down the sorting proces.
