Cutoff-mode=soft: Working?

I've tried using the new --cutoff-mode=soft but I'm not sure it's working. Are there tricks to getting it to work?

I disabled multi-thread-streams since even for one large file, rclone could hit the max-transfer while 2+ threads for the same file were in process. If one thread finished and it put the transfer over max, it would cancel the second thread (same file) meaning an incomplete file.

But that still wasn't good enough. If two files are transferring (for example) and one hits max-transfer, the other is cancelled before completion even if almost completely downloaded (same behavior as before the cutoff-mode option). So cutoff-mode=soft doesn't seem to be working in my case anyway.


rclone v1.52.0

  • os/arch: linux/arm
  • go version: go1.14.3

rclone -vv --bwlimit=1400k --transfers=2 --max-transfer=300M --cutoff-mode=soft --multi-thread-streams=0 copy b2:/test/ /tmp/test/

I think there is a bug report about this, I haven't had time to fix that yet :frowning:
