    We have been in contract with our ISP now and it seems there really is a connection related problem. I guess it's a waiting game till they can solve it.

     

    Thank you very much for the help though. Sadly it's nothing you or we can solve :/

I did some more testing today and found, that rclone can do full speed upload just fine when it uploads more than 1 file at a time. The dropbox app seems to only upload 1 file at a time. Adding more than 1 file to a dropbox folder to be uploaded with the app results in the same ~1MB/s as before. Any ideas how to upload multiple files in parallel?

 

Also some clarification on the part with the fixed bandwidth limit. Any number <10.000 can be set but is ignored and all number >=10.000 are reset to 10 every time I hit apply. The 10KB/s is also ignored as limit btw.
