I noticed flying carpet seems to be relying on a 2.4Ghz hotspot limiting transfers speeds. Could their be an option to use 5ghz?

Related to this and the other issue you opened, I found this which can apparently be used to set the SSID and frequency. I'll look into it.

I also noticed that the file transfer speeds are slower compared to Feem. I was wondering if FlyingCarpet uses DirectWiFi like Feem does. Also, I kindly request to look into the 5GHz option.

Is Feem faster when devices are using a hotspot, and not on a WiFi network together? Flying Carpet technically uses WiFi Direct on Windows, though uses it to act as a legacy AP/ad hoc WiFi hotspot. I adapted https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/microsoft/windows-classic-samples/wifi-direct-legacy/ to Rust. It can't use WiFi Direct for all transfers because iOS and macOS don't have WiFi Direct. I did look at that 5Ghz code sample again but it only works on Android 13+. Not sure if or when I'll get to it, but would probably be in a future major version, maybe alongside Bluetooth functionality.
