Update on new Downloads feature

Ok so I wanted to give my feedback about this, for some reason on my IOS devices (Iphone 12 Pro Max and M1 Ipad Pro 12 inch) when on remote connection, the upload speed on the server (since we cannot check the download speed on the device, come on guys, add that will ya?) tops at 8/9mbps. And it’s not connection bandwidth connection, both ends of the connection are on 500/100mbps connections, (so server has a 100mbps upload limit and client has a 500mbps download limit). BUT, if I download from a plex client running on windows on the same exact connection, the upload speed on the server is topping at 90/95 mbps, exactly what is expected… Also, this speed problem only affects downloads, regular remote streaming from the IOS client tops are 95/100 mbps as expected…

Again, this only affects remote connections, if Ipad is in the same local network as the server it pretty much uses the full gigabit connection making downloads extremely fast, it just affects remote connections on IOS devices.
