Hi Scott,
Until recently my cable upload speed was capped at 128kbps, which
translates to about 14-15KB/s. Which, in turn translates to about 50mb/hour.
Now my connection is rated at 384kbps, and so it would be about 20 minutes.
Even here at school with upload speeds reaching 600KB/s, that file will
still take about two minutes. And that, assumes the BookShare system has
that much available bandwidth.
Definitely a good point to make.
Hey there,
I'm not sure what type of connection you are using, but when I submit my scans, which are usually significantly smaller than 50 mb, it will still generally take about 30-45 seconds to upload. How long do you wait before you "try again"? Or do you close the web page after awhile. Even with a dsl connection, upload speeds are much slower than download capacity.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if a 50 meg file took upwards of ten to fifteen minutes to upload to the site.
Scott

Hi E,
I'm not sure since I have uploaded larger files. This is 50 MG with images.
IT is interesting since the guidelines say to upload in the original format
incase recognition software improves in the future. I try attaching the file
before I wrote last time and it sat there so I am guessing it is the system.
I will let you know when I get it up:)

Try again. If you fail, you may have to save a copy without images and
upload in case the size chokes the system. What kind of system are we
using anyhow where it chokes like this. Folks send huge huge files over
the net all the time. What is going on with bookshare's upload that the
engineers cannot fix? While we are on the subject, since the site has not
changed or improved perceptably in the last six months, what are the
engineers doing anyhow?
