Limit the number of concurrent uploads

[whitews]

Hi,

First, thanks for sharing this extremely useful code. Kudos!

This isn't a bug or really even an enhancement request, but more of a curiosity. I've been experimenting with angular-file-upload and noticed Chrome seems to allow 6 concurrent uploads. Since you have likely used this with many browsers and platforms, could your provide information about the concurrency of the different browsers and whether it is possible to control this capability?

The reason I ask is that I am using this for file sizes in the 20-50 MB range and it would be useful to limit the number of concurrent uploads to 2 or 3 to allow some uploads to finish faster, to avoid re-uploading if some connectivity problem occurs.

Thanks again,
Scott

You can control that on the client side with some javascript code. Before uploading you will have the number of files and their sizes, so you can limit the concurrency as you like.
As you said this limit is very browsers dependent so it would vary based on browser.

This issue is related #71 if we could manage to integrate the pause/resume api into this plugin.

@danialfarid How would one go about doing this?

The feature will be available in angular 2 version and might be ported to angular 1 too once it is released.
For now just implement it manually something like this:
