Any Solutions for uploading files to cloud storage(e.g Google drive) and such, for people in countries with very slow upload speeds?

I have a collection of ebooks(8 GB atm) that i want to backup to google drive. It usually takes me 2-3 hrs to upload a 2 GB zip file(containing only the most important documents and files). Tried to upload my ebooks, left it for 12 hrs and it still hasn’t uploaded. Thought maybe its because i am using Rclone shared client ID(heavily rate limited ), so i set up my own client ID and tried again and its been 3 hrs and still hasn’t upload I am realizing now that its probably has nothing to do with rclone but rather my internet speed, specifically my upload speed(download 15-30 mps & upload 5-8 mps). So i am wondering if anyone has solutions for people in countries with abysmal internet speeds.

Have you considered a torrent based solution? Setup a torrenting server hosted online somewhere with fast speeds (e.g. Netherlands), sync it with gdrive, create a torrent for your books, and “download” your books to the toreenting machine. This approach won’t help with upload speed, but it should help with reliability/continuity. As long as you seed from your home computer, your books will eventually make it into your gdrive. Although with this setup it might be easier to just torrent the ebooks to the online server from sources other than yourself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
