GCP Increase Download Speed for gsutil
If you’re downloading large files, you can speed up download speeds by modifying gsutil. Decrease the number of threads and increase the number of components.
gsutil \ -o "GSUtil:parallel_thread_count=1" \ -o "GSUtil:parallel_process_count=8" \ cp gs://bucket/source.dat /download/dest/file.dat |
GSUtil Installation
The standard GSUtil installation recommended by Google wasn’t working. I found an alternative way to install GSUtil using wget to download, and tar to unzip. You might need to add a path if you install it on a non-standard directory.
