Is there an optimal byte size for sending data over a network?

Question

I assume 100 bytes is too small and can slow down larger file transfers with all of the writes, but something like 1MB seems like it may be too much. Does anyone have any sugge

Answer 1

Here is the formula you need:

int optimalChunkSize = totalDataSize / progressBar1.Width;

Using this, each chunk you send will increment the progress bar by 1 pixel. A smaller chunk size than this is pointless, in terms of user feedback.
