We're working on getting and building some tools for when people (particularly those in the UK, apparently) have speed issues with SmugMug.

Don,
I'll try this when I get home this evening.
For what it's worth, when I last had problems a while back. The connection to Smumug was fine for bandwidth (when I pushed it I can get I could get 50Mbps), however exhibited very poor latency. To actually get strong throughput I needed to open a ridiculous number of HTTP connections (like
~25-50). This was causing upload performance using the single-thread Java uploader to be very poor.
Hence the SmugUp project, which I will get round to releasing as soon as I have a minute. By using multiple connection to side-step the latency issue I got nearly an order of magnitude better connection performance.

To that end, we have an evaluation of a tool up that you can play with. If you've got a minute, give it a whirl and see what you get: SmugMug SpeedTest

I seem to be having major problems with my internet provider this week. That is, when the power is even on (I live in a banana republic).
For my $100/mo subscription fee and with a wireless DSL modem, I have the *blazing* speeds of:
29 kbps download
81 kbps upload
At this rate dial-up would be better... except the phone often doesn't work.

Although I tend to do better with Speakeasy as someone else mentioned:
I only get cable-like speeds all the way out to you guys in San Jose (I'm in Philadelphia). :cry
i thought that was impressive, then i tried the closest server to me just for kicks:
i should write to my it department and tell them how much i love them
