| When transferring faster than | The transfer speed that triggers multi-session transfers. | 700 Mbps |
| Split files larger than | Enable file splitting for files larger than or equal to the specified size. This value is
sometimes also referred to as the multi-session threshold.

If the source directory contains only one file and the file is 60 MB or larger, the file is split, otherwise the file is transferred by one session. |
