Attic and large files

[jure1]

I've recently found out about attic and it seems really interesting, but I'm having trouble backing up large files (ie. dvd images). Is it possible to do something about it - skip deduplication, decrease compression or something that would speed things up?
I've tried creating and running attic on a large directory with many small files and it works great, but now I'm creating a new repository of a bunch of home folders and from the output of lsof I can see it takes several hours to backup large files.
Update: I'm using encryption, transferring over ssh with arcfour and compression enabled over a 10mbit line. It seems that the network is the bottleneck.

Yeah, Attic should have no problem filling a 10mbit line.

Is it okay to close this issue now, or do you have other large file related problems and/or questions?

[jure1]

If anyone else has problems: I've switched to ssh hpn, set the compressionlevel to 1 and ciphers to arcfour128 and now it is better. So yes, it's ok to close the issue now.

bump: this issue can be closed.

[rpodgorny]

mentioning ssh-hpn, this would be a nice fit: #99

please close.
