How do you paysite people upload your movies?
 

Most movies are like 600mb (well good ones), how do you upload this to your members server? I have like 20 movies atm (around 600mb). Dont know how im going to upload all of them to the server, lol. Its going to take for ever! :Oh crap

Should i buy another connection, like T1 or something?

Start them all before you go to bed... Wake up, scratch balls, shower if desired and back to work :thumbsup

600mb movies? Maybe you should break them into parts, or lower the quality some. Then I use FTP Voyager to upload. Just start it and forget it.

^ Both good responses

What he said.


Its really not an issue with the average weekly update for each site. But when we are launching a new site and uploading all the root galleries than its ussually a 2-3 day dump.

:2 cents:

No sweat, we have a 7Mbps upload here at the house so everything uploads more than fast enough. We do save the larger files for overnight though. :winkwink:

Most upload the same way you or I upload. However, for really massive files (several GB), you can send it to your hosting company on CD, DVD, or even hard drive and many companies will transfer it to your server for a reasonable fee.

Yappo.

jesus, 600mb??? We use some high quality shit on our site, and even the 30-40 minute videos never get above 300mb

regardless, set them to upload and do something else

some of my upload sessions have lasted a week, just because we do everything in bulk, so we will upload videos for the next 2 months all at once

DAYUM!!!! 7Mbps is some fast shit to have in your home. :thumbsup

I ftp them. Usually at night when I am sleeping. Takes a couple of hours per movie.

...but seriously folks, apparently like many others my routine is to upload movies before I go to bed.

When I have a super mega project, I give my ISP a hard drive with the data, and he connects it directly to the server, and the next you know...voila!!!

Yup, I agree with the latter. Takes them very little time to toss all of the movies onto your server.

Fill a HD with content and send it to your host. In this modern day, it's faster to UPS shit than to upload it. lol.

Yo!
 

well you can try ftp`s by using totalcomander,or submiter softs for much smaller .mpg's or other formats:thumbsup

slice them, taht's way too big, I think mine are 100 mbs the most

also if one of your hosts has faster coonection than you have at home then you can download them there when you buy them form the content provider (or from the sponsor's site), and then upload them to your other hosts

in my case one of my servers has 100 times faster connection than the one I have at home so it makes sense

i don't have balls, but otherwise totally agree.

if you're starting a new site and have lots of videos to upload, why not just mail a harddrive or a few DVDs full of them to your host and let them put them on the server for you?

I have Verizon fios service. Uploads take now time at all:-)

I use FTP Voyager

mmmm! I want FIOS damnit :winkwink:

copy it to floppies and then send to your hosting location

i use smartftp and have a 110kb/s upload speed

haha what age are you living in?

Only 600MB, you have an easy life. :1orglaugh We have movies that run into 4 GIGS by the time we add the images, samples, full scene, cuts Mpeg and WMV versions.

Only one way to do it, get a decent connection and use something like FileZilla and load them up over night. In the morning everything is done.

Our editor comes in every Monday morning with 4-6 new scenes. By Tuesday they are all up on the site.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I upgraded my cable connection to the basic business plan for $100 bucks a month I get 3 Mbps upload stuff goes up fast

webmasters love the transfer speed when I send them stuff cause it flys across the net to them

just upload it, or put it on a hd, and ship it to the host...

^^^ good suggestion to drop like 50 dvds at once.

BUT why not simply buy faster upload from your host?

Try to get a faster upload speed like others have said, or send the hard drive / dvd off to your host.

I've got 15Mbps, according to my provider, but it's really closer to 10.

I usually upload while I'm asleep, too, but I don't sleep long, so I need a fast connection.

True dat. schedule, load up your FTP. Go to bed. Wake up, and back toe work.

I do not have files THAT big but on those larger,.. best way to do it. Although I have a T1, and cable connection. So it doesn't stop me from working. It just ties up one computer.

cms does that

in parts 40-50mb each otherwise dailup users arent really happy
