Thanks a ton for trying out! I get >100 MB/s between my M1 and Windows machine (with significantly worse specs than yours) so this was a cold shower. Can I ask: - Did you transfer a large e.g. a large directory (I haven't optimized for large amount of files) or just a single file? If so, was that file large enough to let the speed ramp up? - Did you happen to notice high CPU or memory usage during the transfer? Expec…
in both cases, I transferred a single ISO. one was 1.7GB (Mac -> PC) and back it was 6.5Gb (Win -> Mac). CPU seems to be quite low... PC is hovering around 11-14%, it's usually at 10% (got some VMs running in the background). Agent on the mac is around 4-5. Just ran a second test today, and got less than 5MB/s from Windows -> Mac. The numbers for CPU and RAM above are from that run. 6.5GB ISO is being sent again... […
Re: Show HN: Payload – Cross-platform desktop app for LAN file transfers
#31For people reading this: tiernano has been super helpful on github & discord. Early triaging shows payload chose quic over TCP despite firewall disabled. Quic is a fallback and not yet CPU optimized, and struggles on windows (looks like a single threaded bottleneck - one core was at 100%). It appears payload jumps to the fallback too quickly, without giving TCP a fair chance first.
