Additional replicators do not start

Hi,

This is the situation: We have 2 servers that have to replicate lots of data (400Gb) in a short amount of time (3hours). We use push/pull replication.

I added the following parameter to notes.ini on server2 (this server initiates the replication) :

replicators=8

On server restart, I notice that 8 replicators have started, but only one of them is replicating. The other replicators just sit there in an idle state. How can I convice them to get to work?

Thanks,

Jeroen.
