FastMail File Storage
Noticed there was a problem with the file storage earlier today:
File storage and related features (user websites, FTP, WebDAV and attachment upload) are unavailable. Service will be restored in a few minutes. I've noticed that, sometimes, when uploading files via the webmail account interface, it sometimes takes quite a while (minutes?) to upload files. I've also noticed if I use FileZilla instead to upload files to the file storage, it happens much quicker. Anyone else noticed this? |

I have noticed with many file upload services (including local NAS) the browser interface to complete the upload is very slow compared to, for example, a regular FTP client. I suspect this has to do with the inefficiencies inherent in transmitting packets via the browser, but have never found a reference that discusses this.
EDIT: Note that although using a non browser client is best, my own experience has suggested that in browser uploads are faster in Firefox than either Chrome or Edge. Last edited by BritTim : 13 Sep 2018 at 08:00 PM. |
