More parallel downloads can, to some extent, improve the overall time to
download content.

can be used to limit memory utilization) and more sockets.

.It Fl r Ar REQUESTS | Fl \-request-parallelism= Ns Ar REQUESTS
Set the maximum number of parallel requests that is allowed.
-If multiple files are downloaded, gnunet\-download will not run them in
parallel if this would cause the number of pending requests to possibly exceed
the given value.
-This is useful since, for example, downloading dozens of multi\-gigabyte files
in parallel could exhaust memory resources and would hardly improve performance.

You may want to use "DIRNAME/.gnd" for the filename, this way a directory
"DIRNAME/" will be created, and GNUnet's internal directory information will be
stored in "DIRNAME/.gnd".
However, it is also possible to specify "DIRNAME.gnd", in which case the files
from the directory will end up in "DIRNAME/", while GNUnet's directory meta
data will be in "DIRNAME.gnd".
