Description
#### Version information:
$ ipfs version --all
go-ipfs version: 0.6.0
Repo version: 10
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.14.4
#### Description:
Usage:
* Add a folder containing 35GiB of files across ~7,108 files.
* Documents only exist on a single node with a 200 Mbit up/down internet connection
* Navigate to folder on a gateway such as gateway.ipfs.io (success)
* Enter the folder (index) with 7,108 files. Timeout on gateway.
Does the IPFS gateway need to transfer a *large* amount of data to get a directory index?
The IPFS daemon has been running about 30Mbit/s for a while now.
