OK, so if you have just popped along to the thread, here is the highlights.
-
In Australia (and other countries) Google has issues with the servers that sit behind www.googleapis.com which is what rclone talks out to if you are using google drive with rclone
-
At the moment, the best fix it to modify your hosts file with a fast server to force Plex/Jellyfin etc to download from the fastest server
-
If you are in or near Australia, look at the list above and find a server that has the highest MiB/s
a) On linux go to /etc/hosts and add the following line 142.251.10.95 www.googleapis.com and save and close
b) On Windows go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and cut the hosts file from that location and put it on your desktop. Open the file and add the following line 142.251.10.95 www.googleapis.com . Then save the file and cut and paste the file back to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ . Then click on the start button and type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter . Then you should be using the new IP address, if all else fails just restart the computer for the change to apply. -
Speeds above are in MiB/s this is different to Mbps or MBps. If you dont understand, use a calculator Convert MiB/s to Mbps - Conversion of Measurement Units
-
Just because a server is fast now, it does not mean it will always stay fast.

Try and use a server IP that is in Singapore as these so far seem more stable
