I am using this library to upload videos from my web app to Vimeo. It is working fine. However, I need some assistance please in relation to the uploading speed. I have run two tests to determine why my implementation of the library is rather quite slow compared to uploading the same video directly onto the Vimeo Platform.

I observed a major thing which had me quite concerned and I just had to reach out for assistance. I observed that, when I opened my Task Manager in windows to observe the network performance, I can see that my upload using the library indicates that my upload speed is averaging/locking around 2Mbps while the upload directly is averaging around 20Mbps hence the upload directly on the Vimeo site is around 10 times faster.

I tried researching about this issue and the closest I got to an explanation is what one writer termed the size of the upload chunk. According to the writer, in their case, this problem was because the upload chunk was around 100Kb and the solution was just to change this size to make it bigger, say to 1Mb and the upload became faster. However, this was a whole different situation uploading to some other place, not Vimeo. Trying to look for the same situation in the library, I have realized that there doesn't seem to be any defined upload chunk size or its somewhere and I can't locate it.

My request is for you to kindly please assist me with tips and hints to make uploads from the library as fast as directly uploading to Vimeo.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.
