Can you publish to a folder on your desktop and then use Filezilla (or any FTP program) to transfer the files to your web host?

And have you had this problem before with other sites?

I had to use Fire FTP to upload to server but that is the long way to go. Yes this is the only site that gives me trouble

How large is the site (how many pages)?

**ablafontain** · 09 July 2012, 12:32 PM

Sheesh, that's huge! Have you optimized your photos? (Utilities > Optimize all JPEGs...)

Ah. Well if FTP is working, then you might have to go that direction for this site.

It's strange that it just started to do this latelt though. I never had a problem before.

Have you added more music files lately? What type of internet connection do you have? What is your data rate? Does your internet connection use different upload through put than your download through put? Many modern connections have a much lower upload speed than download speed.

The Music page is where 99.6% of the site's data content resides. If that is the only updated page to be uploaded it will require a very long time to transfer the 178523311 Bytes for that one page and audio files.

I would recommend trying to split all those audio files into different catagories so they can be assigned to different pages. If different catagories does not work you may try splitting them into chronological order or maybe alphabetically by title. Use what ever means necessary to have small byte counts per page of music.
