Slow upload speed (but only to Dropbox). Dropbox is now unusable
I've begun to experience this recently: 1: Uploads to dropbox are (as of about one week ago) consistently around 0.14 Mbps. This happens through desktop or web interface. For perspective, that's...
I don't know if you will be able to set the MTU for the WAN connection in that router/gateway. But what you are looking for is IPv4 MTU, not IPv6.
I had tried a VPN as a solution but it did not work for me. Once you leave the VPN tunnel you still pass through some regular IP routers to get to Dropbox. In my case it seems the problem was still happening between the VPN exit and Dropbox. In your case it sounds like you bypassed the problem spot while in the VPN tunnel so problem avoided.
If you could identify the specific routers causing the problem you could try to contact that company and tell them about the problem. That would be difficult and not worth the effort. One assumes that eventually the problem will get fixed!
Bill, you are a god, I wouldn't have thought of this in a million years, I just changed on my network settings and it worked, its amazing. I guess something changed on dropbox end and is affecting some users.
Since this morning when I try to sync, it looks like it will start but it doesnt, it shows on the status bar that it will take days to sync a few gigs and then just stops. From the web enviroment it does something similar, it starts to download but shows it will take days to do so and then just quits.
Tried other computers, other internet connections, even asked my friend and he gets the same, is all the same.
