Dropbox mac comment ca marche3/17/2023 If we do assume it is the uploader that is at fault and not the users, is there a way to track the progress of the beta uploader? An official Git repo possibly? I looked through the Internet Archive Github repos, didn't see anything that overtly seemed to be it in there. Is the alternative sneakernet? Is there a mailing address where we need to start mailing hard drives? That's hardly cost effective for anyone involved. The only other option I see is Bittorrent, and that is even slower than the beta uploader, even if you don't have to babysit it. It says in the stickied post that it works with Chrome and Firefox, since I've noticed different performance between the two is there a preferred browser we should be using to avoid the issues I've described? If so, is there a specific version we should use? And under ideal conditions with no limit on the client's bandwidth, what speeds should we expect uploading to IA? I understand it will fluctuate with load, but what range can we expect? Because 50 megabits seems awful slow, and like I said, I've seen it go far faster.Īlso, since we no longer have the option of using the old uploader that worked properly, if we are having issues with this uploader is there an alternate way of uploading that is not in the beta stage of development? Please don't suggest the CLI uploader, not only do most people not (care to) know how to use that, it also has documented issues with urllib3 used that prevent it from working reliably as well. Should I avoid using the uploader in this way? I presume it is correct, I'm just following the links from the homepage. I'm still trying to keep an open mind about it. ![]() It just isn't working reliably, and I don't know why. I know the beta uploader CAN work reliably. That worked for a couple weeks, not sure if it was a Firefox update lately or if it was IA's side, but that trick doesn't seem to work anymore. This doesn't happen in Chrome, in fact there was little to no change using a VPN with Chrome. But it would only work in Firefox, and it appeared Firefox would load the files in RAM. I was very consistently seeing 100-200 megabits up with peaks around 450, and no need to babysit it. That was the best experience I had with the beta uploader EVER. ![]() What I found when doing that astonished me. So for the sake of keeping an open mind I tried using a VPN with TCP enabled to help with error correction. All the tests I was able to run don't indicate that, but I never ran them for very long. I thought maybe it was an issue on my side. It also had frequent crashes where I had to resume. Common upload speeds for this beta uploader are around 30-50 megabits. I have a 500 megabit fiber connection, and all my boxes are hardwired. The Beta Uploader seems excruciatingly slow, it's highly unstable as you have to babysit it to click the "resume uploading" button every few minutes, where it starts from scratch on the file it was uploading, and there's no real alternative. In the terminal window, type the following lines hitting ENTER after each line Next, open a terminal window (tap START key and type cmd, then tap the ENTER key) Now run the Python installer and install to D:\Programs\Python instead download Python for free from īefore running the installer create two folders on an easy to remember short path with no spaces, like: And you don't need to mess with a separate scripting tool since you aren't writing code, just entering a few command lines in a terminal window. The space in that foldername poses an obstacle to Python ("Access Denied"). and here's a youtube video on creating a python virtual environmentįirst, *don't* install Python from the Microsoft Store since it defaults to your User folder which likely used your Firstname Lastname by default. I'm a clueless newbie, had never touched Python before yesterday so I'm not qualified to write documentation but in case others might be able to get there on their own from these notes. ![]() I stumbled through it, trying to translate commands to Python for Windows. Here's the "unix-like environement" documentation that excludes Windows. Python does runs in Windows so what gives?Īaaanyway. It seems like a deliberate choice to ignore Windows users, hinging on the language "Unix-like environment" which describes every mainstream desktop OS *except Windows* doesn't it? And yet. Finally I sorted out Python in Win10, which isn't difficult, just undocumented on.
