The transport uses a single libcurl multi-handle, which means that if

threaded, and I haven't seen any documentation from the GUI team
outlining a multi-threaded approach to downloading.
Do you mean a single one for all images, or one per image? (Sorry, I
haven't had a chance to review the code yet).
The updatetool GUI currently uses multi-threading for evaluating update
plans for multiple user images simultaneously.
Could this at least be done at the image level to allow this?
Thanks.

I'll need you to figure out which threads are calling the transport
concurrently. We may have to resort to something stupid in the short
term, like a transport lock, but I hope a better solution is available.
