Mike Brooks Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The last two days my uploads to the site have been painfully slow. Often it manages two images (slowly) and then simply stops, which means I have to refresh and re-load the batch. Anyone able to report similar?

spacecadet Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I've had no problems with FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeCee Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Used the standard IM uploader earlier, no trouble whatsoever. Maybe your broadband supplier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Uploaded a few images yesterday morning with the IM uploader. 1st few sent normally but the last few sloowed waay down but completed without problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I recently had problems and the connection would time out via FTP. I've since changed the FTP setting never to time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks everyone - my internet connection seems to be working really well so I'm unsure what might be causing this. I'll have a go tomorrow very early in the morning, perhaps the traffic into the site will be less heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 On June 6 I sent the following message to Alamy: Today using FileZilla I uploaded 150 photographic images to a European agency in 60 minutes, or about 0.4 minutes per image. Then I immediately started uploading the same images to Alamy using the Upload function. This took three hours and 13 minutes, or about 1.28 minutes per image. This ties up the computer an excessive amount of time. Is there some way to increase the upload speed to Alamy? Alamy replied: If you are uploading large batches of images we would suggest you do so via FTP and not through the online uploader. I don't know if 150 images qualifies as "a large batch". I haven't yet tried the FTP uploader but I will the next time and will be interested to see if there is any notable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Then you have your answer. Odd to use FZ for one agency but not Alamy. My images upload in about 2 seconds nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Skovell Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hi Everyone, It's been a little while since I had uploaded any images to Alamy. I am a bit bewildered why my large jpegs take so long to upload. something like 30 minutes per image. has anyone else experienced such a long upload time? I'm trying to upload just 4 images?
