Download Upload Speed
Mathilde Chisler
For the last few hours my MacOS client has been having issues uploading: the upload speeds are ludicrously slow to non-existent, the timer swings wildly from a few seconds to hours trying to upload a basic 200mb video.
I'm having no other connection issues, I'm on 1gbps up/down fiber and uploading the file to dropbox via a web browser takes seconds, all of the Mac app's settings are set to unlimited and every other service I use google drive/creative cloud etc are all fine - it isn't a connection issue.
It will upload small (very small) items, sometimes quickly sometimes it takes far longer than it should - larger files are intolerably slow. If I upload that same file via the web interface it's super quick and appears immediately on my local dropbox - so no issue downloading, It's currently saying it'll take somewhere between 1, 3 and 7 hours to upload a single 370mb videos - to be honest it looks entirely stuck
Still being passed about very slow support being asked to do things like 'restart my router', this is clearly an issue with the Mac client, it's only upload that's broken, and it's only dropbox that I'm having this issue with in the Mac client, on the same connection same machine I have no issues at all using the web interface to upload, or use any other services.
This needs to be taken more seriously, is there a telephone second line support I can speak to that won't waste my time asking me to 'restart my computer' like I'm a 5 year old?
Im having exactly the same issue on my Mac. For the last two days a a 32mb files takes 6 hours to upload. My internet is fine as all other upload apps are extremely fast just Dropbox. tries my account on another Mac at my Office same upload speeds so its not a local issue with Laptop/Mac Pro or Routers.
I have a 300 mbps internet service plan with Xfinity and am having issues maintaining proper upload speeds when I run speed tests. My download speeds are typically between 250-350 mbps, and upload speeds between 10-12 mbps. Currently, my download speeds are relatively normal, however, my upload speeds are between 0.5-2 mbps.
I've had this issue in the past and it ended up being because there was a firmware update for my router. I have downloaded and installed the most recent firmware for the RBR20 router (v2.6.1.36) along with my RBW30 satellite (v2.6.1.6). I've continued to run speed tests after the fact and still cannot obtain an upload speed greater than 2 mbps.
Your Orbi upload speeds should certainly be higher and close to your 10-12 mbps. Try the community faq to first narrow down whether the upload speed loss is from the Orbi, wireless and/or wired, etc.: -AX/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-speeds-are-slow-inconsistent-and-don-...
Once the update to firmware v2.6.1.36 was complete, resetting the modem and router seemed to fix our problems for the past couple weeks, but here we are again. Download speeds are fine, but upload speeds are back to 0.5 - 2mbps.
We have an Xfinity field technician coming tomorrow. I've spoken with Arris customer support and they've informed our downstream bonded channels are fine, but that our upstream bonded channels should be between 45-51 and our currently at 42. Arris also had me connect directly from the modem to my laptop, and the speed tests came back with the correct speeds which lead me to believe that there is an issue with the router, however, the Arris tech contined to say it is more likely the result of the upstream bonded channels power levels too low.
Xfinity informed me today that our plan is actually a 400mbps plan, not the 300 we agreed to which I found extremely odd, and that our current modem only provides speed up to 373mbps. I've ordered an Arris surfboard SB6190 which allows up to 600mbps which will be here tomorrow but at this point I'm unsure what is going to resolve the issue.
After we scheduled the field technician, another technical support member from Xfinity called to see if they could fix the issue without having to send a field tech out and had me connect directly from the modem to my laptop and once again my download speeds were in the 200-250 range and upload back between 0.5 - 1 mbps. They decided we should wait an hour and will be calling me back in a few minutes.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Trying to upload 2GB files to my Cloudflare R2 bucket, but upload speeds won't go more than 20MBps, i'm using a server with 10gbps network (nonshared), and can't upload faster than 20MBPS.
tried using --fast-list but didn't improved at all, and researching a bit about S3 i decided to use [--s3-upload-concurrency 32]
and it increased my upload from 30MB/s up to 70 MB/s
(Increasing --s3-upload-concurrency will increase throughput (8 would be a sensible value) and increasing --s3-chunk-size also increases throughput (16M would be sensible). Increasing either of these will use more memory. The default values are high enough to gain most of the possible performance without using too much memory.)
and now i've increased my speed from 70MB/s up to 110MB/s (was max i could see for a 2GB file before it complete upload)
and for a 10GB file for example, speed reached 250MB/s
Is there any way currently to set a policy to limit/throttle the upload speed either globally or per snapshot? It would be really useful to do so, thanks for any insight on how to do this and consideration of it as a feature in the future.
Implementing new policy options here would make total sense. With feat(snapshots): support for controlling upload parallelism via policies by jkowalski Pull Request #1850 kopia/kopia GitHub I recently added a new kind of policy specifically for Uploads, so this would be a nice addition there.
On my search to tackle this I used CLI to connect to the s3 repo with the right flags (-max-upload-speed) on my Windows computer. This creates the right repository.config with"maxUploadSpeedBytesPerSecond" in it.
After that you can start kopiaUI which will show the connection.
I have ATT Fiber Gigabit so is symmetrical 1 Gbps up and 1 Gbps down. When I run a wired speed test I get about 950 Mbps up and down. When I run a wireless test I get about 400 Mpbs down and about 250 Mbps upload. I also have a UDM router and I get consistent 400 Mbps up and 400 Mbps down. So is not ATT or the internet articles explaining why upload is slower, at least not in my case on fiber. My question is why Eero upload is slower when another router upload speed is the same as upload ? I have all factory default settings, latest firmware and testing speed from the same device.
Can you verify the topology of your network for me? There are a lot of possible causes so we're going to need to narrow them down one by one. Also, eeros behave best when they are connected directly into the modem and do not have a router upstream from them. If you have a modem router combo that is upstream from the eero can you bridge mode it and test? If not, you can try bridge mode on your eero network and test the speeds.
I changed to the BGW210 RG. I tried bridge mode on the Eero with BGW210 and is slow. In passthrough mode the BGW210 with the Eero as router is faster. What I noticed some devices can test 400/400 and others 400/250 the upload is slower than download. It seems to me this is device AND distance dependent. I would say based on my observation the further away a device is the slower the upload.
So it works better with the BGW210 passthrough to Eero as router but not 100% better. FYI when I run a speed test from the Eero app itself wired I get 945 Mbps up AND down. So I know the BGW210 is not a bottleneck.
Something is different on the Eero on the upload Wifi side. Newer devices such as AX have better or almost identical up and down speeds and powered devices plugged in to the wall such as a laptop have consistent up and down speeds. Other devices do not.
One way to truly test this is for Eero to be able to do a MAC clone. The way ATT works either use their RG or use what is called the dumb switch method, in which case the ATT RG is not used at all. I have used the dumb switch method with other routers and speeds have been consistent. Unfortunately Eero does not have a MAC clone function.
Thank you for notating all the testing you've done. WiFii devices are going to run slower than wired devices in almost every situation. WiFi devices are also going to be negatively impacted by distance from the AP that you were witnessing in your testing. Speed test servers are not an accurate way to test the speed of a WiFi 6 enabled network as it takes time for WiFi 6 technology to spin up and reach the maximum speeds and the speed test servers do not test long enough for the spin up to complete. The most accurate way we've found to test WiFi 6 right now is to upload or download large files.
