Description

Sometimes, during catch-up, we generate tens of thousands of outgoing transfers. These then become stale very quickly (before they've even had a chance to get their globus transfers out). It would be good to set a hard limit on the number of outgoing transfers, say up to 8192 (configurable) and only start creating new ones when this becomes smaller (say 2048)?

You'd need to look in the send_clone functions.
