On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)? scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s. For the context, I'm trying to transfer about 50-70 GB files. What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance! https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

Are you transferring a large amount of small files?

No, it is a large zip file.
If speed test result is much faster, the bottleneck could be the CPU incapable of encrypting/decrypting data fast enough using the default encryption method used by SCP/rsync. In that case, try unencrypted file transfer instead. Maybe just serve the file temporarily with `python -m http.server`

3. self hosted ipfs in tailscale or something? (that would be cool)

Are speed tests (e.g. speed.cloudflare.com) on both laptop also giving similar number?

I shall check the speed on Cloudflare but the speed is not much improved on Python HTTP server too. :(
- there is a max speed limit rule added to your access point to limit download/upload speed on one of your laptop. Remove them if you have access to the access point control panel, or use another access point
- the access point is overloaded, too many clients connected and its cpu can't keep up. Use another access point
- you are using 2.4Ghz band and it has a lot of interference in your area, try switching to 5Ghz or 6Ghz band if possible
- use adhoc transfer, directly connect to the other machine without using an access point: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/net-wireless-...

Then the issue might be in your wireless access point, maybe one of these: - there is a max speed limit rule added to your access point to limit download/upload speed on one of your laptop.
