SWing'R Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 380 MB and it has 6 hours to go.That is a pretty damn big file. I would expect it to take awhile. Plus your internet speed may not be the greatest, AND upload speeds are almost always slower than download speeds, quite slower!I would suggest checking your ISP speed, there is a link at the beginning of the thread below to a speedtest...http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=13395Here is an example of the test results I got just now, you cansee that my upload speed is horrible in relation to my download speed.

NinjaNick Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does YouTube even allow you to put a 380MB video on their site? They have limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does YouTube even allow you to put a 380MB video on their site? They have limits.Youtube file size limits are 2G in size or 10minutes in length so he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program that i was using to convert them to mpeg from avi was leaving them the same size. so now i got them converted to about half the size but it still takes long time for a 8-10 min video.

redkow97 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i have dialup because where i live i cant get anything else look into satellite internet.our Montana location (and a few other really rural offices) at work still rely heavily on their fax because they claim dial-up is the only option.when companies insist on them emailing large photo attachments, one of the crankier owners said, "fine - but i'm going to charge you by the hour."I'm sure they ended up waiving the $65 charge for the hour it took the email to go out, but that was the only way to get the point across...

Assuming you took the test correctly (you were doing nothing else with your pc at the time) I would be calling your cable company and asking them whats up.Why is your test server from WICHITA, KS??My first test was on a closer server, I took it again on a server farther away and the results were better. You can pick different servers. Your resluts will almost always be different when trying different servers. Because the internet uses different routes to get different places you can expect to see different results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
