Is there a way to speed up new pinned files propagation?

Help Kubo

Hey!
We have an IPFS server:

root@IPFS-node-03:/var/log# ipfs --version --all
go-ipfs version: 0.11.0-dev-5a61bedef-dirty
Repo version: 11
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.16.8

And lets say we pinned 1000 new files to it (one folder) and published the folder’s hash to IPNS (we use ipfs-http-client for that). Now it can take up to many hours (sometimes it can be up to several+ hours) until we can get all files or fetch the folder content using https://ipfs.io/ipns/k51XXX urls.
Is there a way to speed up that process? Or maybe we have something wrong in our config that causes such behavior?

Our config is pretty default one:

The server is a Linux machine, 4001/TCP allowed to anyone.
Anything we can do/check/fix?

  1. Enable IPNS-Pubsub.
  2. Add Protocol Lab’s nodes to your node’s peering subsystem.
