26   * A connector for a remote repository. The connector is responsible for downloading/uploading of artifacts and metadata
27   * from/to a remote repository.
28   * <p>
29   * If applicable, a connector should obey connect/request timeouts and other relevant settings from the
30   * {@link org.eclipse.aether.RepositorySystemSession#getConfigProperties() configuration properties} of the repository
31   * session it has been obtained for. However, a connector must not emit any events to the transfer listener configured
32   * for the session. Instead, transfer events must be emitted only to the listener (if any) specified for a given
33   * download/upload request.
34   * <p>
35   * <strong>Note:</strong> While a connector itself can use multiple threads internally to performs the transfers,
36   * clients must not call a connector concurrently, i.e. connectors are generally not thread-safe.
