The number of buffers would be 1:1 with the number of files being
downloaded. Aggregating the data is the problem I was trying to avoid.
Because the downloads all finish at different times it makes sorting
the data difficult.
I agree that downloading a lot of files will be silly. Perhaps I will
set up a pool of 20 or so buffers for downloads and block or error
when the pool is exhausted.
Would that be a good idea?
