📊 Performance

v3.1.0 Optimized Results:

✅ 104+ MB/s upload speed for large files (parallel chunked uploads)
✅ 4 parallel chunk connections for maximum throughput
✅ 500MB chunks - optimal size for PS5 disk performance
✅ Real-time progress - Speed/ETA updates during upload
✅ Zero chunk failures - Fixed race conditions
✅ Fully responsive UI throughout upload
✅ No memory leaks - stable operation

v4.1.0 Real-World Test (Astrobot):

✅ 156,253 files uploaded successfully in 53 minutes
✅ 1,724 directories created
✅ Zero crashes - stable memory usage throughout
✅ Smooth UI - no stuttering with massive file counts

Previous Results (v1.3.0):

✅ 42,801 files uploaded successfully
✅ 60-150 MB/s sustained throughput

Network	Expected Upload Speed	Expected Download Speed
Gigabit Ethernet	88-110 MB/s (aggregate)	100-120 MB/s
WiFi 6 (5GHz)	32-70 MB/s (aggregate)	60-80 MB/s
WiFi 5 (5GHz)	20-50 MB/s (aggregate)	40-60 MB/s

Note: Upload speeds depend on network quality and PS5 disk write performance. WiFi has ~40-60% overhead compared to Ethernet.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Connection Failed

Make sure PS5 payload is running
Check PS5 IP address is correct
Verify both devices are on same network
Check firewall settings

Slow Upload Speed

Use wired Ethernet connection (not WiFi)
Close other network applications
Check PS5 disk health

Upload Fails

Check PS5 has enough free space
Verify destination path exists
Check file permissions

🔒 Security Notes

Server only accepts connections from local network
No authentication required (local network only)
SHUTDOWN command only works from localhost
