Web browser: --- Bug ID: 60283 Summary: Commons connectivity issue in Hong-Kong Product: Wikimedia Version: wmf-deployment Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: General/Unknown Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: kel...@kiwix.org Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- It looks to be impossible to upload videos to Commons, from Hong-Kong, from a standard Internet access solution, due to a lack of bandwidth: "Because Hong Kong is on the opposite side of the planet from the WMF datacenters, we can only eke out an average speed of 50kB/s even on a "fast" connection in Hong Kong." Wikimania HK organisation team http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimania-l/2014-January/005466.html The problem seems to be neither on the server side, nor on the client side, but somewhere in-between. From a user perspective, this is a problem: it's not possible to upload big content to Commons, to our projects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
