Hello All,

Is session_upload supposed to be horrendously slow?

I have written some code, which (honestly) is a bit more convoluted than Gregory's sample, but in essence does exactly the same thing and each call to "files_upload_session_append" is taking "forever" to return.  I even get "connection aborted" here and there... :(

I am sending in 4M chunks as in Gregory's sample...

Any hints or this is probably my network?  (will test using other connections and post back if anything changes!)

TIA,

Paulo
