Hello , i am new here and also with syncthing i finally set my server side and remote side and they are both working ,thanks to this community but i had one problem. the transfer speed is too slow i had 200mbs/download and 284mbps/upload then the remote side is also the same speed as mine i do not have any downloading or uploading applications in the background , but syncthing i wonder why it is so slow some times the maximum peak it reach is 5MiB/upload then the remote side is also 5/MiB download . please help me with my issue ![advance](https://forum-uploads.syncthingcdn.net/original/2X/4/424e4b3bd724a4cec3088e306f7db11f8b750b65.png) ![folder config](https://forum-uploads.syncthingcdn.net/original/2X/e/eb54eb846ab2f48528dc911d1c4b8cd4943f0c70.png) ![peak](https://forum-uploads.syncthingcdn.net/original/2X/a/a178547b87c91343598eea52556ca6d8aa8c8547.png) ![remote side](https://forum-uploads.syncthingcdn.net/original/2X/7/7b259ee1349655589447f31a043bfe341d765ae9.png) ![speed issue](https://forum-uploads.syncthingcdn.net/original/2X/7/744d39affc17e5fa63320bbe014b3ec2dee977ca.png) ---

You have blanked the important part here, which is the address. We need to know whether the devices are connected directly or rather through QUIC or a relay. If it’s a relay, then transfer speeds may be significantly slower. The type of connection will be written in the pop-up when you hover over the address, so please at least show or write down what is displayed there. Also, you seem to sync a lot of files. If they are small files, then it is normal that transfer speed is much slower in comparison to syncing a small number of very large files. ---

Also, you seem to have disabled nat traversal, which is the thing that tries really hard to get a good direct connection. Advise you keep the defaults as they are, they are defaults for a reason (optimal settings), unless you really know what you are doing. ---
