    Unison file synchronizer (by bcpierce00)

  • I started using Unison to transfer & sync my data between my old Ubuntu machine and my new Arch machine. During the first test run, only transferring some folders it achieved speeds of 80Mbit/s, both machines being in the same local network connected via Ethernet. This seems resonable and is something I can work with. However, now that I edited my profile to include more folders Unison is not able to send more than 1,5Mbit/s. I haven't changed any settings, only inlcuded more folders to sync. From all what I've read Unison should be way faster in this SSH via local network setting.
