Alliecatz Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ok, I did all the tweaks (THANKS REVEREND!) and my download speeds are staying fairly decent now (notice I said fairly decent....I think any other problems are on Direcway end). However, my upload speeds still suck. Anyone know of anything I can do to get some more speed there? I sell on ebay and its hell sitting and waiting for pics to upload! Also.....does D-way have any FTP space for storing pics for upload? I am an X-aoler (can we say SIMPLE here?) and I don't know how I am going to upload my pics without AOL's FTP space????? Where do I put those pics for upload now? In case you haven't figured it out, I am a computer idiot learning as I go....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewelz_tx Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 ohhhhhh I am soooo jealous!!!! How did you do that? I would gladly take 27 upload right now compared to my 5! As for pics and AOL... you right click on the pics and save to your computer. Set up a folder just for them under "My Documents". It's pretty simple actually and you have more control then with AOL.

Alliecatz Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Jewel- I did the setup that the Rev (God bless his heart!) posted--the first post up on the board and it worked! As far as pics, what I am referring to is pics to want to upload to web...you have to first store on FTP server and apparantly that doesn't come with Direcway like it does AOL.

Jewelz_tx Posted February 26, 2005 CID Share Posted February 26, 2005 yeah I tried all those..... but apparently I cannot ping..... therefore the optimizers won't work. When I ping... no matter where I ping..... I get either request timed out or extrememly high numbers with a 25-35% packet loss. Tech support even hung up on me last night. told me that it was my computer..... not them! I am about ready to tell Direcway to kiss my hiney!!!

ccr1958 Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 here is a free image hosting site....there are several others....search google for free image hosting... after you upload your pic it will give you some options for what you need to display the pic for then just copy & paste....works pretty well - http://www.imagevenue.com/ - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeOtto Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 Just a tidbit on upload speeds.... I have been averaging in the high 50Kbps range on uploads since I applied all the tweaks. I generally use the smaller files because I am impatient (hence my pain with Dway). Here is a link to my averages since I applied the tweaks: https://testmy.net/personal_stats_30d.php?User_Name=JoeOtto&m=02&d=28&Y=2005 On Saturday morning, however, I had to upload 64 MB of photos to some photo site. According to the upload applet on the site, I started in the 40KB/Sec range and by the end, I averaged 11.3KB/sec for the whole upload. I timed it and did the rough math and agree with the value. Although 11KB/sec isn't great, it is 3 times faster than I could get with dial-up from my home. (Dial-up here usually runs between 3.2 and 3.8KB/Sec both ways. I can still whine though, can't I?

ps2mike Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 I can still whine though, can't I? what good would whine be without the cheese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeOtto Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 What kind of cheese is that? Looks like it has some moldy specks on it!! That's ok though, grandma always told me to cut them off, it's still good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
