I initially implemented a multiprocessing pipeline with a multiprocessing strategy depending on the number of days and split boxes to process (if only a couple of days to process but many split boxes, it makes more sense to distribute jobs over the different split boxes than over days). The Sentinel Hub services already offer multithreading capabilities, so let's use this instead to make the tool more simple and probably more stable!
On a simple test over Ilulissat in Greenland downloading 2017-05-01 to 2017-09-01 of Sentinel-1 EW data no significant improvement in download efficiency have been observed.
