Im trying to upload files to archive.org. As you can see the site is very archaic and probably run by a couple of librarians. This means I get upload speeds at 60-80kb/s. Thats right and the files I want to upload are each 20-30GB. This means it takes me approx 5 days just to upload one. But I cant even seem to do that because suspeciously enough they all run into connection issues as soon as one of them is about to finish. I suspect foul play. Am I in the right place?
Are you uploading media that you think millions of people would be interested in viewing?
If so, give us an overview of what it is....
Or do you mistakenly think it's a place for you to backup your personal files?
Does their HELP section help?
Their help section does not help. It mentions how they dont mind files of 500GB and 1TB being uploaded, while not making any mention of the 80kb/s speed. Either way its not the speed thats the problem. Its the suspecious interruptions.
There are millions of files with less than 100 views on there, and very few with more than a million, so I dont know where your "millions of people would be interested in watching" notion comes from. But heres what I posted in a different forum which will most likely be the one I end up using since Steve seems to be hostile about it. :
Thank you for your reply. Its all upto date, I have gotten to upload some. But there are people who dont want me to upload it. And in the meantime they have noticed that I am. So I suspect foul play. I was wondering more if someone could help me test it. I dont have any idea where I would start if I wanted to find out if there is foul play involved, but I was hoping someone here might? It has become a matter of principle to get it uploaded so Im willing to go above and beyond to find out why its happening. As I said, it didnt have that problem before the people new I was uploading. And no its not copyrighted, its a certain streamer who doesnt want things they have said publicly uploaded. So I was thinking something more in the direction of some software that keeps track of internet connectivity/speed, maybe that would give an indication of what happens (maybe its as simple as my router closing the connection after a certain amount of time). Or maybe it will show that an unsolicited IP/domene or something suddenly inundates the connection and makes it break. Furthermore I have a firewall running with logs. What Im trying to say is Im ready to find out about this I just needs some guidance from someone who knows what to look for and how.
And btw its being uploaded from a laptop that does nothing but just sit around and upload all day long becase of the bad speed. Its not being used for anything else, and it has a fresh windows install.
To be clear I suspect the interruption of the connection to be foul play. Not the speed.
