> I don't know any reliable server with good bandwidth serving without tls
I am able to connect to your example arch.mirror.constant.com using both http and https. Something is going on with usb ethernet and tls which I don't understand. Could it be as simple as different block sizes interacting with the usb packet size? I modified hget -v option to print the number of reads in each second, as well as the original bytes-so-far and bytes-total. My internet wire speed is about 40 megabit/sec. Using the pi4 built-in ethernet, I see this: term% url=//arch.mirror.constant.com/images/v20220801.71902/Arch-Linux-x86_64-basic-20220801.71902.qcow2term% 5.hget -v -o /dev/null http:$url 1 1074 513671168 154 236298 513671168 1891 4664898 513671168 1885 9351954 513671168 1952 14040462 513671168 1948 18715902 513671168 1908 23411670 513671168 2035 28095822 513671168 1992 32781426 513671168 1995 37459770 513671168 1945 42146826 513671168 ... term% 5.hget -v -o /dev/null https:$url 1 1670 513671168 136 1113734 513671168 571 5791366 513671168 569 10452614 513671168 571 15130246 513671168 568 19783302 513671168 570 24452742 513671168 569 29113990 513671168 573 33808006 513671168 568 38461062 513671168 542 42901126 513671168 ...
