I hate the way doing large syncs from slow cloud providers slows my entire machine to a crawl, but because of the way iowait works and how rclone works, I don't think there's a good way around it? Has anyone found anything I missed?

@fastfinge I typically rclone to a jump box that I Sync Thing to my desired destination.

@Eggfreckles Yeah, I think I'll do something like that next time. This copy only has 17 hours left, so not a huge deal; the other users on the machine can wait a day or so.

@fastfinge I have also found Sync Things versioning useful when cloud storage restores are lacking.

Or if you choose to upload from a Sync Thing jump box you can keep all of your data encrypted in the cloud.
