Re: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages
Jim et al, This is getting OT, but one should also remember that the method of delivery of broadband to a house can also determine the maximum speed allowed. Mine (in England) is delivered via telephone line and the maximum it can take is 8Mb (download), so it would be absolutely pointless buying anything faster. I currently have 8MB, but it only operates at 6MB. I was warned by my ISP that this would be the case before I signed the contract.

RE: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages
Offhand, I would say you have excellent connectivity to the Internet. Uploading your Legacy web pages should not be much of a problem. Your specific numbers indicate a 3.89 megabit download speed which is very good. You are probably paying for a 4 megabit connection but if you are actually paying for a 6 megabit connection, then it is time to complain to your ISP because they are not living up to the bargain. Your upload speed is 1 megabit which is also very good. You are probably paying for a 1 megabit connection which means you are getting 100% of what you are supposed to be getting. That is almost unheard of so I suspect that you are probably supposed to be getting a 1.5 megabit connection which means you are still getting a good portion of what you are paying for. These speeds are always sold as a package, i.e., 4/1.5 or 6/2. Only your ISP can tell you what you are paying for. The bottom line is that with an upload speed of 1 megabit, you should have no problem uploading Legacy web pages. With a 1 megabit upload, it took longer for me to type this message than you could upload 100 pages. By the way, I should add that for anybody thinking it is taking too long to upload any web pages, under no circumstances could the problem ever be anything to do with Legacy. I think any further discussions about network connectivity should probably be taken to a different forum or else email me privately and I'll be glad to help.

The time to upload obviously varies with the speed of your internet connection and always the upload speed is a lot less than the download speed.

Some cable modem connections are only 768K while others are up to 18Mbps (that's over 23 times faster). 5. A dirty little secret of your Internet Service Provider is that your upload speed is almost always severely reduced over what your download speed is supposed to be. 6. Another dirty little secret of your Internet Service Provider is that your up/download speed is not guaranteed but rather sold to you as up to X Mbps. Your results may varyand they will. 7. The speed and efficiency of the server to which you are uploading will affect the time it takes you to transfer files. Normally, it isn't much of a factor unless you are using AOL, etc. If you don't know for sure, call and ask your ISP exactly what speed package you are paying for: you need two numbers as an answer. For example, a typical answer might be 3 Meg down and 256K up. Note that in this example it's the 256K upload speed which determines how long it takes for you to upload web pages. Finally (and really getting off topic now), if you are still having long delays uploading web pages, go here to test your ACTUAL speed as opposed to what you are paying for: http://www.speedtest.net/ Brian in CA -Original Message- From: Michele Lewis [mailto:cranberryf...@charter.net] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 8:52 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages I have a Dell laptop with 2GB RAM.

Re: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages
Brian, Absolutely correct, but Brian (Legacy) aked for the CPU and it's speed because that does affect how long it takes to create the Legacy webpages.

Lightfoot wrote: This is getting slightly off topic but since it does directly affect Legacy users that are trying to upload web pages, here is one more shot at things to remember: 1. Your upload speed is not affected by choice of operating systems; Vista or XP have no effect on your upload speed. 2. Your upload speed is not significantly affected by your amount of RAM (unless you are so underspec but then you'd notice problems with just running any programs. For the average system, adding additional RAM will not increase your upload speed. 3. Your upload speed is not significantly affected by your brand of computer. 4. Your upload speed is not defined by merely saying cable modem, DSL, satellite, etc, all of which are loosely defined as broadband but bandwidth can and does vary widely.
