I do not have rate limiting enabled. The machines are 2 standard desktops (one a Core2 Duo ~8-y-o, the other a AMD Phenom II ~4-y-o) and the files were 19 mp3 files.

I saw another [post](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/syncthing-very-slow-to-lan-sync-repo/1634/2?u=stvn66) where you mention that having the web UI running slows down the transfer rate so I closed that and it seems to have completed transferring everything (I had run it to verify the application was running and monitor the progress). I there a better means to monitor the status of the synchronization?
