What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When transfering files the speed drops from 80 MiB/s to 30MiB/s this alway happens between 2GiB and 3GiB transfered.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.69.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.8.0-53-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.23.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Ultra.cc seedbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone copy ultra:sync /mnt/storage/downloads --progress

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

welcome to the forum,

that does happen with some providers. quick transfer for a few small files.
however, transferring large files, or a a lot of files, the provider can limit transfer bandwidth.

can try to increase --transfers and --checkers

should test without rclone, see what speeds you get.

Hi, thank you for the quick response,

This is the new command I used:

rclone copy ultra:sync /mnt/storage/downloads --progress --transfers 16 --checkers 10

This didn't help, I tried using FileZilla on a different pc in the same network. I have a consistent 85MiB/s while transferring the same file.
