Direct transfers on Windows blocks after a couple of MBs transferred

Open kernelPanic0x opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Has someone tried sending large files via localhost on the same computer? When I do that, it just sends the first 100-200MB and then stops like a deadlock. Is this a backpressure problem?

I don't get an error message but it just stops transferring. It seems to be only a problem on local connections on the same machine, maybe because of the ultra-low latency and fast speed that you normally don't have via real networks. Can someone confirm this?

I am currently using windows. Maybe this has something to do with this issue.

I don't experience the same issue. Maybe try opening in lldb and see where it hangs.

Not using windows though, so no idea if that's related in any way.

I have tested on linux and as you said there is no problem. I am running Windows 10 21H2. Seems like a windows issue to me or with my specific hardware 🤷‍♂ . I also encountered this problem while sending normally to another machine. Very strange 👀 ...

If a windows user wants to try to debug this, help would be welcome.
