In sharepoint 2010/2013/2016... I am working to understand HTTP request throttling.
I am doing file downloads from sharepoint using this program: https://github.com/nddipiazza/Sharepoint-Exporter
This program fetches lists, list items, and downloads files and attachments within those lists.
First you give it a sharepoint user, then it allows you to set thread counts of how many downloads are being done in parallel.
I noticed that regardless of the number of threads I choose, the download speed seems to hit a certain rate and won't increase passed that. Making me believe that there is some sort of hard throttle preventing me from hitting the server too hard.
See: SharePoint HTTP requests monitoring and throttling: is it possible to adjust thresholds?
The answer here indicates that there is throttling being done at the server level.
But I cannot touch throttling per-server. That is too general of a change and would affect other users.
Is there a way to set the throttling that is done per-user?
