Any thoughts on Backblaze B2 optimum number of threads and chunk size?

I normally get 1-2MB/s from single thread uploading, and since each thread will get a different B2 upload server, I would suggest using a number of threads that can max out your upload bandwidth.

The default 4 MB chunk size should work. You can also try reducing that to, say, 1MB, in order to get better deduplication, then use more threads to overcome the increased overhead associated with smaller chunks.
