I feel your pain. My home internet connection is 24 Mbit/s down, but only 1 Mbit/s up. I asked my ISP for more, but it's basically impossible to get. Thank goo

I feel your pain. My home internet connection is 24 Mbit/s down, but only 1 Mbit/s up. I asked my ISP for more, but it's basically impossible to get. Thank goodness for multipart uploads, at least.

I've ameliorated this somewhat (I have 18/1), albeit at the expense of space, by uploading things to a common place, then copying or (sym)linking them to the final spot on the target computer. This gives me the ability to `rsync` them up rather than copy, using its ability to only transfer the pieces of the files that have changed. We have a ~20MB .war file that I have done this with over airport wifi, and it ended up only transfer a few 10's of KB (maybe 100) between compiles.

  I do something similar. I have a database of all my files on S3 and their SHA-256 hashes. This not only means that I can skip uploading files which haven't changed, but I can do S3->S3 copies for files which are the same. But it's still too often that I have 10s or 100s of MB of data to upload. At 1 Mbit/s, it takes a half hour for every 100 MB!

    Indeed, sometimes it just sucks and you have to bite the bullet.

I am in the same situation though my actual speed is more like 0.7 to 0.8Mbps up. Uploading a 30MB Go binary would take nearly 6 minutes. I guess I should be thankful I mainly work with text and not images, video or large proprietary file formats otherwise I think I would be out of the game. My phone is now about 5 times faster than my home Internet for both uploads and downloads but also significantly more variable and expensive. The fibre internet upgrade that was scheduled for last year had the technology downgraded and the rollout delayed due to politics.

    Shirro's probably in Australia, with terrible copper infrastructure. The fastest upstream ADSL connection is 1 to 2 megabits and SHDSL is rare.

      Cooper being rare makes it more likely that they upgrade the end points to get 3mbps or more. I'd guess that hold true for down under as it does for the other places i know.
