Rclone download

[ncw (Nick Craig-Wood)]

So when --vfs-cache-mode <anything_else> rclone directly streams the file to WinFSP sequentially and when --vfs-cache-mode full, rclone first downloads the file to the cache then streams the cached file back to WinFSP, right?

Yes, that is right.

Could this get any better with changes to WinFSP code? Or is the issue on the kernel side?

It is how filesystems work and I don't think there will ever be a work around. It's the same on Linux

Regarding the cache, maybe what I want is already covered by --vfs-cache-max-size and --vfs-cache-max-age . No big deal if huge files goes through the cache as they will be remove from it at the end of --vfs-cache-max-age . So I will probably use --vfs-cache-mode full in the end to workaround the download speed "issue".

That should work with the one slight annoyance that rclone will download the entire file before giving any of our to the user.
