Hetzner servers aren’t billed against transfer quotas to storage box, and get a direct, faster link.

It sounds like you’re connecting through the public interface, for which many ISPs in the US rate limit the Hetzner storage boxes. In my case, around 3mbps.

Using a VPN from your home (unintuitively) increases your throughput, alternatively use concurrent webdav (HTTPS, typically not rate limited) without VPN.

Said plainly, the symptom you’re seeing is the same reason I could likely guess your ISP, and has nothing to do with Hetzner.

Please, try and guess my ISP.

I'm not in the US. I'm also not aware of my ISP throttling uploads to particular services.

A VPN failed to help.
