I did 1) disable lan_encrypt_data on both computers & restarted the app on both. That seemed to work fine for a little bit (still no better than 16MB/s though, however at least somewhat consistent). However after I came back to check on it 3 hours later it was back to being really really slow again. I restarted the app again on both computers & for awhile longer it ran nicely. I did this a few more times until it finally finished. The couple gigs every week that I have been syncing since once a week run, but still not all that fast. At this point both machines are now version 1.3.109. I will try adding 2) the next time I go to sync & will report the speeds then. Thanks!
