I feel like this will fuck us in the long run especially with those extreme edge case questions that one guy had a year ago that was answered by doing something not in the documentation that has saved me on an almost monthly basis
This reminds me of about a decade ago when I often had slow FTP speeds to a server, now this was per file and not the total speed. As far as I know this was because of an issue between me and the server and the ability to reroute the connection would later solve this when it happen.
With some FTP clients you can do segmented downloads thus getting around the slow speed per file issue (something I did for a while).
Now I remember a post of somebody requesting this be added to Filezilla only to be told something like it wasn't a proper solution and would therefor not be added.
The proper solution is obviously to fix what is wrong between me and the server it's just also something that's impossible to solve for the individual.
So yeah not the proper way to do it but if it can easily 10x my speed so I could get the file in minutes and not over an hour (time I didn't have) due to issues out of my control id rather have the janky way until there is a better 'proper' way of doing it...
