The ceiling is the internet connection at ~8 MB/s. Parallel chunks buy 10-30%, concurrency across different videos buys nothing, and --concurrent-fragments is inapplicable because these formats carry no fragments at all. yt-dlp is already doing the thing that matters: the formats advertise http_chunk_size=10485760 and that chunking is worth 13x, because a single long range request gets throttled to 0.60 MB/s. Also tested option 3 while here: NFO <streamdetails> is ignored for episodes -- RunTimeTicks stays null and MediaStreams empty -- so Jellyfin cannot be talked out of transcoding that way either. The useful number: download is 8 MB/s against a 0.39 MB/s playback bitrate, 20x headroom. Streaming while downloading was never bandwidth bound; it failed purely on Jellyfin's probe decision.
