That is obsidian sync is only managing to download ~4 images a minute. This means for my current vault of ~1500 files with maybe 250 images would take somewhere around 50-70 minutes just to download the image files. Admittedly I don’t know what background processes / indexing are being run but this strikes me as rather long as these files are mostly only around 20-60KB:

Not sure if related but the sync process also appears to keep getting disconnected and taking ~1-3 minutes to re-connect:

Sync has now been running for 40 minutes on my machine and it currently has only download 8MB / 84MB of content (or 920 / 1470 files)
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y]
I have not tried the sandbox as this issue occurred on a completely fresh install whilst trying to sync an existing remote repository from scratch (no files / folders present on my machine)
Expected result
I would have hoped sync to download the contents in a more reasonable time. The total file count is ~1500 files and ~80MB; I’m not sure what a reasonable time is but >1 hour feels excessive.
Actual result
Syncing is taking an exceptionally long time
