How many download workers is Heroic Games Launcher set to be allowed to use?

Have you verified your actual download speed through any external monitor? The builtin counter doesn't seem very reliable.

Yeah I also found this on github and then tried to play with the workers (don’t what that is).
They were set to max and then I changed the numbers without seeing anything special..
Although I didn’t reboot between changes as Heroic never instructed me too..
