Hi all, i have an question regarding connection speed. We are using syncthing in a hub and spoke setup to sync files from main HQ to currently 76 site offices (connected via VPN over satellite). We are using version 1.10.0 and 1.11.0. Main HQ site syncs 76 folders (one for each site) and one more folder for all sites (send only). There are not many changes on folder content.
The limiting factor for transfer speed is the satellite connection which is around 10kBit/s. Theoretically Syncthing should be able to sync all sites at full speed 10kB/s*76 sites = 760 kB/s.
What i see is, when connected only one site office and the all other are paused, the transferspeed is about 99 %. If all site offices are connnected, the speed for each siteoffice drops to 0 -1 Kb/s.
HDD performance, RAM or CPU seems not the issue here. The system sould be able to handle constant speed for all clients (760Kb/s). Is there an setting to allow all devices sync in parallel with full speed? Only thing i have seenn in the documentation is maxFolderConcurrency (set to -1 ) but there was no improvement.
Best regards Thomas
