Has there been any change or workaround to this? I'm experiencing extreme slow backups for my first time using IDrive to back up a shade under 200GB. I figured with my 200Mbps/50Mbps connection that it should take somewhere between 12-24 hours depending on how stable and consistent the transfer were. I'm currently at just under 24 hours and only 30% done. Though I should be able to pull near 5MB/s upstream I haven't seen a file yet go at over 1MB/s and my speed test also reports both 10Mbps down and 3.43Mbps up in the application.
Internally I'm on a gigabit wired connection and I just ran a speedtest.net bandwidth test even while streaming music, running the backup, and playing an MMO and the test still reported 194.5Mbps down and 56.75Mbps upstream.
