Title: ftp speeds
Post by: PeterChigmaroff on May 12, 2015, 13:13
Is anyone else finding ftp speeds to SS really slow lately? I asked my internet company, they say it's west coast to east coast bottleneck but speeds to P5 and others are all within 80% of max for my plan while SS is down to 10% and lower. It's getting to the point of useless especially for 4k video.

There is the ftp thread,if you have time to read it ti will pretty much tell you everything you need to know.
But yeah ss is definitely working hard on the issue.

It took them a month to admit that there MIGHT be a slight issue for SOME people after accusing them,their internet connections,their isp's and even the filezilla updates and settings.
And another a month where they are still trying hard to fix the issue that they are now pretty much sure that it affects people.

Lol this is so ridiculous on so many levels that i've stopped bothering with them.The answers on that thread resemble the monty python parrot shop sketch.

Apparently it won't matter. I was thinking of upgrading to something faster too but P5 and others swallow up large files reasonably well but SS is like having one of those old modems that you put your phone into.

I'm running at 7.8KB/s right now. A little over 2 and half days to do 2 hours worth of work.

When my speed drops there it goes to 30kb/s but not that low.Internet speed doesnt matter midway i had my adsl upgraded,which i would do anyway and the drop in speed is the same when it happens.
The only way uploading kind of worked for me eventually as i've mentioned in the thread there was to upload one clip at a time.
Sadly that doesn't help since you need to babysit your uploading workflow but it's the only way to ensure that the speed wont drop.
Speed drops -as i found out- when you have a batch of clips and the next file starts to upload.Never happens midway the uploading process.
So..goodluck i guess...
