I use the Web UI for my downloads and want to increase the number of threads used. I'm using 4 now and have 16 available. I understand that it can be done in ffmpeg but need some help figuring out how to do it.

If someone can help me find the config file and understand how to edit it, that would be really helpful. I expect to be able to use 12 threads to effectively reduce my download time for large playlists to 1/3 of what it is now.
