Hi!
I'm not really sure where I should put this problem of mine, but I'll try here
I have a digital design business, meaning that I create high resolution crafting papers, elements etc. and sell those as downloadable kits. Because the graphics are high resolution, the zipped files tend to run large. And here's my problem...how to get files ranging from 50 MBs to 150 MBs to my server.
I have tried FTP, but the connection always times out/hangs at some point, usually around 30-50 MBs into the upload. I have tried to check my FTP proggy (Filezilla) and tick all possible choices that might have to do with this, but it always happens anyway (also with other FTP programs). I wonder if this is a FTP or server issue? So far I've been uploading the files with the Cpanel File Manager, but that is sooooo slow! It's frustrating to spend half a day (sometimes all day) just uploading one kit. I have broadband, btw.
Whenever I download something this big from the net, it always downloads MUCH quicker, so it seems to be only the uploading part. Can anybody shed some light or advice on how to best and fastest get these files on my server? And is it at all possible to FTP such large files? Thanks!
