Nextcloud version: NextCloudPi 16.0.3 Docker
Docker engine version: 19.03.1
Operating system and version: macOS 10.12.6
Hardware: Mac Pro early 2009
The issue you are facing:
Nextcloud is only using around 50% of my internet connections available upstream bandwidth. My internet connection has a maximum upload speed of 20 mbps, and whenever I download a file from my Nextcloud server, it generally only uses around 8-12 mbps of bandwidth. Or put another way, the file will download at around 1-1.5 MiB/s, sometimes even less.
In case it’s relevant: My Nextcloud server was installed using NextcloudPi docker. Because my server is a 2009 Mac Pro, it cannot run the latest version of Docker and so the container is running inside a VirtualBox VM.
Some diagnostics and problem solving I’ve done:
It’s not another app or service using the bandwidth. I’ve made sure that no other service on that network is uploading anything when I performed these tests.
It’s not the server itself. Other services on the server that upload data utilize the full 20 mbps. Furthermore, using a bandwidth test such as speedtest.net on this server consistently reports close to 20 mbps of bandwidth.
It’s not docker or VirtualBox. Other docker containers can also utilize the full upstream bandwidth without any issue, including a container I installed that runs a bandwidth test. [EDIT: Apparently it is! See my posts below.]
It’s not my Nextcloud client. Every client I use exhibits the same issue.
It’s not the client’s internet connection. I’ve tested downloading the same file from my server from multiple different locations and ISPs.
Can anyone help me figure out what’s wrong? I routinely use this Nextcloud server to send large files, and as things stand, it will take twice as long to transfer them as it should, and sometimes even longer than that.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y
Steps to replicate it:
- Connect to my Nextcloud server using its web interface
- Navigate to a large file (100 Mb or larger)
- Download it.
- The average download speed should be close to 2.5 MiB/s, but in actuality it’s only ever 1 - 1.5 MiB/s.

I’m not sure which log file this is referring to, and I’m reluctant to post any of my server’s apache logs publicly. If any data from these logs is needed to diagnose the issue, please let me know what specifically is needed and I’ll post it.
