DropSpace Chunker

DropSpace now uses it's own chunker for concurrent file uploading. This allows for faster uploads, and more reliable uploads.

The chunker is a replacement for Resumable.js, which was used in previous versions of DropSpace (Broken).

How does it work?

DropSpace Chunker works by splitting the file into chunks.
Let's take a 100MB file for example. The chunker would split that, to 100 chunks of 1MB each. This is to avoid hitting a payload limit. Then instead of uploading all the chunks in its own thread, all at once (Which would probably trigger a rate limit), the chunker splits the chunks into four groups.
The groups would look like the following

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
Chunk 1	Chunk 2	Chunk 3	Chunk 4
Chunk 5	Chunk 6	Chunk 7	Chunk 8
Chunk 9	Chunk 10	Chunk 11	Chunk 12
Chunk 13	Chunk 14	Chunk 15	Chunk 16
Chunk 17	Chunk 18	Chunk 19	Chunk 20
Chunk ...	Chunk ...	Chunk ...	Chunk ...

After we grouped all the chunks, we start uploading the chunks, by creating each group it's own thread.
This allows for faster, and more reliable uploads, without hitting a rate, or payload limit.
Below is a comparison of a chunker uploading each file after each other (sequential), and DropSpace Chunker uploading them concurrently.
