No sync progress with big files - from 0% to 100%

General

Hello syncthing team, huge fan of your work :grinning:

The problem:

Imagine synchronizing one folder with one zip file (>2gb). Syncthing does not show any progress until the file is synced. It jumps from 0% to 100%, and may take a long time.

Itā€™s not a big deal, but it appears ā€œfrozenā€ while is actually syncing normally.

The Rest API does not show sync progress either:

curl localhost:8384/rest/db/completion?folder=big
curl localhost:8384/rest/db/status?folder=big

Any tips?

Greeting, Nuno Bento

Have you changed any advanced configuration options? Iā€™m thinking specifically about Progress Update Interval.

Normally, a large file transfer on the receiving side should look somewhat like this.
