📊 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

• ✅ No memory leaks - stable operation

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
