Accelerated Single File Uploads

Open Duckfromearth opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Filebrowser uploads multiple files in parallel, saturating high bandwidth connections. However, when uploading a single file, it doesn't fully utilize a 1gbps connection. Describe the solution you'd like

Perhaps it's possible to use some type of parallel chunk uploads for accelerated single file upload speeds?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Apps that do this include: Copyparty - (but slowed down by hashing implementation) + the UI is confusing for end users. Filegator - (but pauses in between uploads while combining chunks on the server) Alist - (but uploads fail with very large files do to excessive client memory use)

Additional context

closing as wont do after consideration as part of this releases upload overhaul.

a single file can "saturate" the bandwidth, that's how bandwidth works. Its one thing if this were a P2P seed type upload but a client and server upload paradigm does not benefit much here.

If your internet is 1 gbps , you can saturate that with a single file stream upload.
