Well I am trying Smugmug and was all set to sigh up but my uploads are really slow. The first pics I uploaded were quick but my latest files are at a snails pace and coming from a free hosting service that was quick this is not good. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I would like to join.

Hi Dan, I'd like to help. Can you give me some particulars:
I see you are using Firefox 1.5 on Window. Which uploader are you using please?
Can you run a speedtest to us? http://speedtest.smugmug.net and share the results here.
Can you run a traceroute to www.smugmug.com and share the results here?
Let's start with those and go from there.

I am at work right now so I am nt sure my wife would be willing to run the tests for me.
I used "Universal drag and drop" then switched to "Old faithful"
I finnish up my shift a 05:30 EST and when I come home will run the test and post results. Not sure if this has any bearing on it as I originally tried
"Pro" account then tried the "Proffesional" account and last night when I tried to upload the problem started.

Yesterday I uploaded two files that where less than 25k, one took 2773 seconds (42 mins), the second took 3078 seconds (51.3 minutes) to PROCESS.Both files where the same jpg - the second upload was due to me thinking there was a problem and the first one didn't upload.
Tonight, I'm trying to upload 5 files (total size 1.7 mb).
I just don't have time to wait 40+ minutes...something is wrong. I too use FF 1.5 and windoz, using the drag n drop java file uploader.
This is rediculas! 51 minutes to process a file less than 25k!

It's not upload speeds, its the time smugmug takes to process the files. At least for me.

That's quite fast - and good. Can you do a traceroute from you to www.smugmug.com? If you need assistance, just holler.
Also, are you running any firewall, ad-blocker, accelerator software?

How do you run the traceroute?
Ran another speed test.
var fo = new FlashObject("speedtest.swf", "speedtest", "450", "300", "7", "#ffffff"); fo.write("flashcontent"); Last Result:
