Forum slow since "upgrade"

John,

In my world (AT&T DSL), uploads always take longer than downloads.  I just downloaded your link in about 5 seconds, but when I try to upload a picture of about the same byte size to this forum, it takes at least 10 times longer.

For what it's worth, I have not noticed this at all. However, I sent an email to Crowdstack tech support.

Upload speed is typically determined by your local ISP, not the forum server.

Rich, my ISP upload speed is not an issue here.   I just uploaded 300MB to a cloud server and it went at over 40mb/sec, the whole upload was less than ten seconds.

With gigabit fiber, I rarely have to think about local speed issues.

Well, in this case it was just to put the possibility that my ISP upload speed was the issue to rest.  I have no speed issues on other sites, but I've noticed that it seems to be taking longer up upload a file to a thread here for some reason.

test test.

Forty five seconds for these two PDF and my upload speed is 40 meg.

That's not exactly speeding along for a couple megabytes of files.

I'm a two railer so we are accustomed to slower speeds. 

I am impressed John. your upload speed is faster than your download by quite a factor.

Well, with the fiber connection, the max speeds in either direction are identical, one gigabit.  The reality is sometimes I see 900 mbit, but usually more like the above display.  I know it's way faster than I need for anything I do, so that's all that counts.

Is this a service available in all areas?  I have 5G but it is turtle slow compared to yours John.

Verizon FIOS gigabit service, it's not everywhere.

From Crowdstack Tech Support:

...it's definitely not any kind of bandwidth/upload issue. The processing time is the time the server takes to identify and process the uploaded file (identifying file type, how to process/treat it, etc.).

As of right now, I'm not seeing any explanation for any difference in processing time. I will say that PDFs and videos will always take longer to process than images due to the type of processing that must be done (and often the size of the file). Short of that, I'm not sure I have any other insight to offer at the moment. Everything appears to be operating optimally and normally.

There ya go.
