I have a collection of ebooks(8 GB atm) that i want to backup to google drive. It usually takes me 2-3 hrs to upload a 2 GB zip file(containing only the most important documents and files).
Tried to upload my ebooks, left it for 12 hrs and it still hasn’t uploaded. Thought maybe its because i am using Rclone shared client ID(heavily rate limited ), so i set up my own client ID and tried again and its been 3 hrs and still hasn’t upload
I am realizing now that its probably has nothing to do with rclone but rather my internet speed, specifically my upload speed(download 15-30 mps & upload 5-8 mps).
So i am wondering if anyone has solutions for people in countries with abysmal internet speeds.
Have you considered a torrent based solution?
Setup a torrenting server hosted online somewhere with fast speeds (e.g. Netherlands), sync it with gdrive, create a torrent for your books, and “download” your books to the toreenting machine.
This approach won’t help with upload speed, but it should help with reliability/continuity. As long as you seed from your home computer, your books will eventually make it into your gdrive.
Although with this setup it might be easier to just torrent the ebooks to the online server from sources other than yourself.
If OP is going legit, torrenting is a pretty solid solition. And like the VPS and mailing suggestions, OP could torrent the files to a remote server, and from that server, upload to a 3rd party storage.
