We do use fairly small 32KB chunks in the Kodi download so increasing the chunk size may help improve bandwidth. Need to investigate.
Yes it's the GUI (dialog) progress updates here - combine a fast internet connection with a small (32KB) chunk size and we're updating this dialog over 70 times a second, which is slowing down the whole process (and computed speed).
We need to rate limit the dialog updates - I'll have something to test in #0125.
Okay, that explains this weird behavior but the GUI shouldn't have any impact on streams like youtube or amazon, right?
I mean, yes these "downloads" are also done via python but there's no GUI visible that gets updated.
Or am I totally wrong on this one?
