Bug ID: 472146
Summary: Using compression algorithms to improve file transfer
speeds in KDE Connect
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: satrujit...@gmail.com
CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
KDE Connect is a great tool for sharing files between devices. However, the
file transfer speeds can be slow for large files. This is because KDE Connect
does not currently support compression algorithms.
Compression algorithms can significantly improve file transfer speeds by
reducing the size of the files that are transferred. This is because
compression algorithms remove redundant data from the files, which can
significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred.
I propose that KDE Connect should be updated to support compression algorithms.
This would allow users to transfer large files much faster.
Benefits:
Faster file transfer speeds for large files
Reduced network congestion
Improved battery life
Drawbacks:
Increased CPU usage during compression and decompression
Increased memory usage during compression and decompression
Implementation:
The following steps would be required to implement this idea:
Add support for compression algorithms to the KDE Connect codebase.
Update the KDE Connect user interface to allow users to select a
compression algorithm.
Test the new functionality to ensure that it is working properly.
Discussion:
I would like to start a discussion about this idea on the KDE Connect GitHub
repository. I would like to hear from other users about their thoughts on this
idea and their experiences with file transfer speeds in KDE Connect.
I believe that this is a valuable improvement that would make KDE Connect even
more useful. I hope that you will consider supporting this idea.
Thank you for your time.
