3.0.1 Sync strategy enhancement for huge files #2452

Open Frizou opened 4 years ago

This desktop client perfectly syncs small files, many thanks to the whole team!

Actual behaviour

. I guess desktop client uploads 2 files at a time . I guess files are uploaded in add/modification order (FIFO) . because huge files are very long to upload, little files that could be added/modifed during huge file upload are waiting a long time before being synced (up to several days when adding 10 x 2 GB video files with ADSL upload at 110 KB/s)

Expected behaviour

. limit to 1 uploading slot for huge files . keep 1 uploading slot for smaller files . User Interface, general advanced settings, add an option "Allow FIFO bypass for files smaller than" and user defined "XXX MB"

Work around

. don't use desktop client to upload huge file, and manually upload them via web UI . major inconvenient: no DL resume if you have to power off your computer.
