Research direction

Locate the upload and download command entry points and read how they currently obtain the worker count from the .ddsclient config file. Add optional command-line controls while preserving the configured value as the default, then verify that each command uses the requested number of workers, including for slow-connection settings.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The number of workers can be changed for the upload and download commands via the .ddsclient config file. This can be a challenge for some users. Add an optional argument to these two commands to control the number of workers. Typically the number of workers is adjusted when a user has a really slow internet connection.
