Slow Transfer Times

Slow transfers and long transfer durations can be caused by low network bandwidth, high network latency, a large number of files being transferred, large file sizes, network throttling, remote system performance, local system performance, encryption methods, and session time limits.

The physical limitations of a network or system cannot be circumvented. If sending a 10GB file across the internet to the remote server takes you 2 hours, then sending the same 10GB file across the internet to the remote server will take us 2 hours as well, assuming both connections to the remote server are identical.

Enabling regional data routing causes all data transmissions to your site's remote servers to funnel through your site's region. When accessing Remote Mount folders, this setting improves transfer speeds for connections within the same region, and it decreases speeds for connections with other regions.
