Something strange happening with cache and download speeds.

I have advanced settings set up like this, trying desperately to maximise my connection (it's a 100Mbps download connection, downloading from web interface of Drive most of the time completely maxes it out, tried while experimenting as described below):

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<readbufferfactor>10000</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

Now, with the above settings, which should definitely try to download the whole thing far before it's over, I'm seeing my connection behaving this way:



basically seesawing up and down with a top speed of about 11Mbps. Which is plainly useless when playing back high bitrate stuff.

Anything wrong on my side? I reapeat: while I was getting those results, downloading a file straight from Drive instantly maxed out the connection.

Which playback type are you using in the settings for the plugin? You should select the first in the list (Memory). If you are using Stream (or renamed Transcode in new versions), it uses Google's streaming which may account for the fact that it's limited the rate. With first option, it should download and buffer as if you were downloading the file.
