Is download to local speed bound by the streaming rate limit?

[Chiefmas 26]

So things like downloading a conversion or just downloading a file to a mobile device (particularly, a non-local), are they bound by the Internet streaming speed? If not, is there a place this can be restricted? I've run into this as a problem in Plex, where it doesn't seem like syncs to mobile devices are throttled at all, so one person running a sync operation can consume all available bandwidth., which isn't great. I'd like to know if I will run into it with Emby as well?

Thanks!

Hi, not it isn't, although it's probably a good idea to incorporate. Best thing you can do right now is configure the app to only download on wifi.

Thanks for the reply!  Just so I'm completely clear, it's just going to push out the download and consume all the upstream bandwidth it can in a download (to client) operation?

When the client starts downloading, it will download as fast as it can, yes.

Ok, thanks, good to know!

That's definately an enhancement that would be nice, at least for those of us with limited upstream bandwidth!
