It would be good if you had showed the code that does that. It is hard
for us to guess what programming error you have made.
As you won't show code, I will. Please try the attached cli.py and
server.py on your machine, and report the timing. On my machine, I get
0.00105595588684 0.076632976532 8300000
which means I can transmit 8.3MB in 76ms, which is a lot less than
15s.
My guess is that you sum up the incoming data with
total_data += received_data
That is O(n**2).
