When enabling and using concurrent uploading to smugmug does the PM uploader open up many connections to smugmug?  Smugmug is having a bad habit of dropping connections after a while so it seems advantageous to go ahead and open up multiple connections and try to minimize the time for each connection to remain open.  As long as the network has bandwidth remaining and smugmug allows more connections then it seems like it's the way to go.  Any recommendations?

One suggestion is to have a separate log for each connection that is opened.

Each Upload progress window will be allowed to make up to two simultaneous uploads.  The status of both uploads will be logged to a single log file.
