how long should it take to upload pictures?

[leiftv]

I am using the Mac uploader and have 150 pictures to upload, it's been going for an hour and a half already. I have been pitting files into photoshop and saving them as jpg10 files. They average about 2 meg per picture. What would the normal time be to upload these files? I use bellsouth dsl as my internet service.

We'd need to know your upload speed, and if your connection is stable and fast. But right now, there's no queue, to speak of. Uploads should be fast, and image processing, too.

Sounds like you have a connection issue. I'd recommend doing the line quality test at http://www.dslreports.com/linequality it's a free test, but you must register (also free). Please share the results.

The speed is fine - we need to see the results of the line quality test - it's the connection quality that I'm suspecting right now.

This is the result from the line quality test: the line quality test 0% loss latency 48.7ms
Is this the corrrect information?

You have 100% losses about 1/2 way between you and us. I suggest contacting your ISP, and sharing this result with them, see what they say, and can do? Let us know.

[leiftv]

What do those losses mean?

What do those losses mean?
It means you don't have a sustained, quality connection.

[leiftv]

Spoke with Bellsouth and of course they say the connection speed is fine and line quality is good. Any suggestions?

[Andy]

So, just as a control, how about trying the Universal Drag and Drop, with Safari or Firefox.

I will try that with the next batch of photos i shoot.
