Slow upload rate..

[lsatblu]

Hi,

I am hosted with ASmallOrange. I have always had fast uploads but recently that have been rather slow. 1-4kbs but now up to 20kbs. I think it depends on the file type. I am not sure.

This is starting to stress me out because it takes hours to upload 8 or 9 mbs of stuff.

What is a normal upload rate? How do I know if this is a problem with my host or with my connection?

I also upgraded to the lastest version of Cyberduck but I do not have OSX. I still have OS9. Could that be a problem? I'm so confused.

Edit: When I try uploading a file of stuff it says 2 or 3kbs but when I upload an 11mb file it says 20kbs. It is so strange. I can't find a really good way to tract it. I am just watching the upload as it flickers and shows me a rate but it doesn't always. Deleting files is fast. And downloading normal files from the internet is about 144kbs.

Try using a different FTP software, if it doesn't work, contact your host.

The upload speed does not depend on the file type or your OS or even your FTP client. It solely depends on your host. I think ASO throttles your FTP upload speed due to which you are getting such poor speeds. Have you tried asking this question to ASO support to see what they say?

I tried uploading the same files to another account on ASO and it was as slow. But I tried uploading the same files on another host and it went very fast. I will contact them again.

check (if they have cpanel) the current ftp connections. (close your FTP, clear the connections) then retry to upload..

my ftp program sometimes crashes on large amounts of small files on UL (if not in sftp mode) causing the connection to lay "stale" and unusable.. in the long run causing it to be slow.
