@ -8,3 +8,10 @@ bytes being sent. Worst case.
So I think forwardRetry should cap after some amount of automatic retrying.
Ie, it could give up after 5 retries. --[[Joey]]
Of course, the real use case for forwardRetry is remotes that use eg, rsync
and can really resume at the last byte. But, forwardRetry can't tell
if a remote is doing that (unless some timing heuristics were used). Around
5 retries seems fairly reasonable for that case too, it would be unlikely
for a rsync transfer to keep failing so many times while still making
forward progess. --[[Joey]]
