HF Transfer

Speed up file transfers with the Hub.

DISCLAIMER

This library is a power user tool, to go beyond ~500MB/s on very high bandwidth network, where Python cannot cap out the available bandwidth.

This is not meant to be a general usability tool. It purposefully lacks progressbars and comes generally as-is.

Please file issues only if there's an issue on the underlying downloaded file.
