Taking forever to upload an OGG video file to my Website

JamesBlack · 03-21-2011, 08:13 AM

I recently created a webpage and decided to add a video to it. Using BlueGriffon a web editor and was told that it only accepts video files in ogg format. I converted it and decided to use filezilla as always. But after it took 50min to an hour to compete whatever it was doing, it then decided to reupload it again, but for 3 hours now.

Am I doing something wrong, everything seemed like it was working but this is killing me.

Its just one file, why does it need to try and upload it again after doing it the first time. The videos file size is 6MB.

Is there a quicker way to do this because I was planing on uploading more video files.

More than likely crap ISP (more specifically your upload speed).

Unless you have hosting by someone running a server in their basement or from a personal computer then the server should have ample speed. Or I suppose, if the server is being flogged by malicious activity.
