I was at home uploading a WP site and it's maxing at 4.2kb. I did a speed test and im getting ~1MB upload (my home ISP caps it out at that). I uploaded a 5MB file via Chrome, to test, and it uploaded within 2 mins. The file uploaded was a wordpress.xml file through the uploader. Same file in nautilus is taking forever. To upload this WP site and all the plugins took 1 hour.

Any ideas of why or how?

P.S. I've been using my hosting company also for years and they've never had any speed issues uploading.

  • Have you tried uploading using the plain text mode ftp just to be sure it's really nautilus related ? Jan 2, 2011 at 23:39
  • What do you mean plain text FTP? Like, through terminal? Jan 3, 2011 at 7:29
  • Did you try to set your MTU to a smaller value? SFTP didn't work for me, so I set mine to 1492. You can find your maximal value with ping -s 1464 google.com (try increasing, decrasing 1462; the number in the brackets, when you still get a response, is your new MTU)
