Help Me, Why Is The Internet So Slow

I'm doing a massive upload onto a clients site, but I'm only getting in the area of 50kb/s at this rate i will be uploading until 5:30. its one 545mb zip file, any way i can speed this up?

it's cos you have ADSL A being Asynchronous, meaning uploads are shitslow compared to downloads.

so... how do i make it faster?

oh its normally much faster for the same purpose a simalar sized file took about 3/4th of an hour on Monday, today its predicting 3+ hours.

Use a different connection, that will make it faster*.

• SO long as the other connection is a faster one.
  

the other conection i can get here is even slower... so im fucked then?

Yep

Fuckity Fucked

Fucking Fuckity Fuckibity Fuckoolity Fucked.

stop downloading porn!!

Proper Fucked.

Use a curryer.

don't think so... can you zip a zip?

No. I therefore have buttons.

Yep.. but it will likely get bigger.

You're fucked.. totally utterly completely fucked.

fuckety fuck. oh well 52% done.... not going to make deadline.

It depends what it was zipped with and how it was zipped.

jeans.
recklessly.

email it to me and I will upload it for you.

PM someone with a "big fat pipe" (100 Megabit/sec would do), beg them for a favour, burn to a disc and cycle round to them?

i do a fair amount of ftp'ing and that's the upload speed i get. it slows down your download while the upload is going on too.
'be' now part of BT do a faster upload line for reasonable money if your exchange is compatible.

Be are owned by O2, not BT.

On the new products in the market now ADSL with 1 Megabit/sec upload speeds are common, at least as far as business use is concerned- the Tiscali Annex-M ADSL service is 14 Meg down and 2 Meg up, offering CoS and QoS. Plus their business arm is not nearly as appalling as their private punter facing arm.

Your (probable) issue is going to be contention- does not matter how fast the line is if you are sharing it with 50 other people.

Checkout my stats baby!
