Fastest way to upload 50gig of video content to a server? How? - GoFuckYourself.com

Phil · 05-05-2009, 01:47 PM

Any tools that will help me speed up optimize upload? Will zipping them in one file help?

BOSS1 · 05-05-2009, 01:49 PM

open a tube site and get anonnymous people to submit.... your content will get uploaded faster then if you did it yourself

HorseShit · 05-05-2009, 01:51 PM

zipping the files will only help if they aren't already compressed, which they probably are. Not sure how fast your connection is but if it's typical residential cable it could take a while. you may just want to send the host an external and have them copy it over

50 gig could take a while, be faster to fedex a hard drive to your host

alias · 05-05-2009, 01:52 PM

All in one file is liable to crash something when you extract it. What you need is bandwidth.

For example if you were able to download them to your server via ftp in the server shell from another server it would be way faster than uploading from a residential connection.

Contact your host and see if they will allow you to send them a HD with all material.
They can then copy to your server for you.

thats what I was thinking as well, sending it to the host. from what i can tell my upload speed sucks big time and it would take me days to upload them one by one. Bummer. I thought there maybe something like flashget that I use for better and more efficient download. Phuck...

After Shock Media · 05-05-2009, 01:59 PM

It is one of the major pains.
I have begged to my cable provider to allow me to swap my download speed for my upload speed - of course they refused.

Running and owning a few sites, I am almost always uploading. Shit just sucks ass. Mailing drives is almost always the best way about it unless your some asshole who just happens to have a fiber connection or something and then odds are fuck you.

The Duck · 05-05-2009, 02:00 PM

You could always compress them one by one, but that would probably take even longer then uploading them uncompressed. Or you move to Scandinavia or Japan and get a 100mb upload connection.

stickyfingerz · 05-05-2009, 02:00 PM

With me my upload is pretty kick ass, so Id just run it on ftp by using like filezila or smart ftp and it would be done in over 3 or 4 nights of uploads, but ya if your upload sucks ship an external drive.

That is why I have two internet connections. One cable high speed, and a T1 data circuit.

It is not blazing upload by any means, but it is a solid, non fluctuating 1500 and uploads faster than my cable connection at least a few times over. My cable connection is supposed to be a 5M down, 1M up. I have never gotten that however on the u/l.

biskoppen · 05-05-2009, 02:18 PM

The fastest data transfer ever was done by truck... no kidding

nation-x · 05-05-2009, 02:20 PM

server to server transfer would be ideal... do you still have them on a server or did you download them all?

sandman! · 05-05-2009, 02:21 PM

woj · 05-05-2009, 02:39 PM

put them on an external drive, go to some place that has high speed connection, library, local college, etc upload it from there...

raymor · 05-06-2009, 11:05 AM

Do you need do this once, rarely, or on a regular basis?
If you can't mail the host a drive for some reason, you could
mail it to us and I'll upload it from the datacenter. I'm not
at the datacenter that often but it could work for a one time
or occasional thing.

Of course, if you bought this content from someone, it's probably
already one their server somewhere and it would make sense to
transfer it from theirs to yours.

Peter Romero · 05-06-2009, 11:11 AM

Drive to your server with your laptop and take a tech to dinner while you load it from there.

SweetT · 05-06-2009, 12:02 PM

I agree with the other posters....just Fedex the HDs to your host and have them copy the content over for you.

We do it for people all the time....almost daily.

rowan · 05-06-2009, 01:23 PM

Additional suggestion: mail/freight a USB stick rather than a mechanical HD. They're smaller, more rugged, and probably easier to attach at the other end (where do you stick an external HD in a rack full to the brim of 1RU servers?)

I sent 2 x 32GB sticks to my host a few months ago... no worries at all. One of the staff even forked out a few bucks of his own money to return it since they didn't have an easy way to one-off bill me for it.

AdultSoftwareSolutions · 05-06-2009, 01:24 PM

Some hosting companies will let you send in a hard drive and they will transfer it for you. Talk to your hosting company.

It's about time someone finally said that. Holy fuck, how many consecutive people can suggest the same goddamn thing? I may snap.

Shit, too late - I already have.
