From what I understand its still restrained by the server in real time so downloading a 2 hour movie would still take two hours 🥲

Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

It's limited to the transcode speed, but it's important to keep in mind that e.g. if you transcode to a lower resolution especially it'll usually transcode faster than realtime.

Then it shouldn’t be limited. I can transcode a movie faster then I watch it even at higher quality.

Right, I just mean if your connection speed is faster than your server can transcode, then the transcode speed will be the bottleneck
