Bug description

when transferring a large file (over 200 mb) the rate starts out in the 1 to 2 mbps (I'm used to seeing closer to 10 mbps). It gradually slows down to 800kbps then 600, and eventually fails. I've attached a debug log showing a successful transfer of a file 11 mb in size then another unsuccessful transfer of a file 1.5 gb in size. Wondering if I should just reinstall...

Steps to reproduce

every time since yesterday

Expected behavior

transfer files 10mbps or faster ideally

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached debug log and reproducing the large-file transfer on Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 with Warpinator 1.0.8. Compare the successful 11 MB transfer with the failing 1.5 GB transfer and trace where throughput declines or the transfer fails. Done means large files transfer reliably at the expected rate.
