iOS SDK - is there concurrent requests limit for file upload/download using DBRestClient?

Is there concurrent requests limit for DBRestClient (iOS SDK)? On slower networks when multiple requests for file upload/download issued most of requests fail with error 1001. Any recommended limit...

I don't believe there's a connection limit built into the SDK, and so you may certainly encounter -1001 errors (time outs) if you run many connections simultaneously. That being the case, enforcing a limit would be a good idea. I believe some developers use a limit of 4, but you may want to experiment to see what works best for your app in particular.

It would certainly be nice if the SDK could handle this for you though, so I'm sending this along as a feature request.
