Hi,
How git-annex-get chooses remote when it's called without the '--from' option? Is it anyhow controllable to prefer specific remotes/set priorities?
What about downloading multiple files? Does it download from multiple remotes at the same time to optimize for bandwidth?
Remotes have configurable costs, see
remote.<name>.annex-costdocumentation in git-annex.git annex getand some other commands can be used with-J3to download multiple files at once. However, it only downloads each file from the cheapest remote that has a copy.It would perhaps be an interesting improvement to make it round-robin amoung remotes if there are multiple ones that have the same cost.
