Hi everyone,
I am uploading a 120mb Photoshop file for a client to download but I have an issue. When uploading I can not load any other internet pages? My upload is less than 1mbps and it is uploading the file at around 120kbps which is dead slow. Is there anyway I can solve this?
Thanks for any suggestions in advance,
Thanks,
Ben.

Yes, you need to implement QOS, specifically prioritise outgoing ACKs

If the 120 kbps means 120 Kilo Bytes per second then that is the right speed for a service with a 1 Mbps (Mega bit per second) connection.
Filling you upstream will cause problems with downloading and this is why people are chasing ever faster connections.

Thanks to all who has posted. Yes I thought it was just the terrible speeds that I have. Sigh - will continue with this [censored] speed!
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
Yes it is Kilo Bytes per second!
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers,
Ben.

Bits are the baseline speed unit used for communication technology, so broadband is sold in bits.
Windows invariably displays transfer speeds in Bytes - the conversion between bits and Bytes is that each Byte contains 8 bits.
So if the upload speed you quote is what windows or another programme is displaying most likely it is Bytes, hence multiple by 8.

I was using speedshare and that is KB/s! It was slow beyond belief!
|
|
|
So at 120KB/sec its around 1MB every eight seconds or in the 20 minute window to upload.

Yes something like that! Too slow for me and it completed killed the internet when uploading it too. I wish fibre was here. #sucks!! Thanks for your help.

What are you using to upload? If I am ever uploading anything I tend to cap the upload speed to about 80% of possible speed. I don't have fibre but I have used this principle from the dial up days. That leaves enough space for internet uagae while uploading.

Hey!
I am not using anything, should I be? I was using the browser upload form.
Can you cap your upload speed? I am Sky BB.
Thanks,
Ben.

Not sure if a download manager will allow you to cap upload speeds. I always use FTP or a torrent client. Filezilla is free and easy to use. You can set up the server version and create an account for the person you want to share the files with and cap the speed that way. It is also more secure.
