Oh, you want to open dozens or hundreds of network connections simultaneously. Not usually a good idea. Too many connections can overwhelm a router, and the host you're uploading to might even consider it an attack.

Do you have ssh access to the machine? Can you upload an archive of some sort and unpack it there? Uploading one big file would avoid some overhead.
