Is file copying speed crucial enough to be worth paying for? This is just my opinion so it may not be worth noting, but I would personally not pay for anything to speed up file transfers when I can use free software that can create multiple TCP connections for batch file transfers to overcome the round-trip-time and/or slow registry options in Windows. I would first tune the windows registry to match the expected usage of the network with The SpeedGuide TCP Optimizer [1] This appears to work on Windows 11 even though they do not state it. Then I would just install Cygwin or the Windows Subsystem for Linux and then use the lftp client to do many SFTP threads. The lftp client can even split one massive file into multiple threads. For HTTPS there are download managers like DownThemAll that can speed up downloads provided the website supports Range headers.
