bandwidth issues and poor uploader & downloader through the desktop client

hey, are you actively working on improving the uploader and downloader. And how you handle people working off slower bandwidth? The uploader in particular is incredibly slow. And shade really struggles if someones internet isn’t great compared to Lucid. Which handles it seamlessly. I have good internet, but my partner has slow internet. and whenever he tries to use shade it crashed for him, and slows / freezes things on my side. It’s a real bottleneck issue atm.

    Hi Sam,

    Are you uploading via the mount or the desktop app?

      I’m doing it all through the mount usually. The last case, it was an animation I rendered directly onto the mount. render took about 2 minutes. The upload time to shade afterwards was over 2 hours :/
