what is the deal with file uploading over http? how come it is so darned slow? what kind of network pipes does good upstream throughput require? sorry again for an offtopic post but holy crap this information seems hard to come by.
Uploading over http isn't slow in particular. But, some people are running ADSL -- that "A" stands for Asynchronous and denotes the fact that upload and download speeds are not the same. Upload typically being much less than download -- my service was 1.5Mpbs down and 384kps up, now is 3Mbps down and
812kps up. Doesn't matter if it's http or ftp, that's just the service. Most people download more than they upload so it suits them ok.Synchronous bandwidth is generally more expensive but many cable providers give their connections as synchcronous.
