Is it normal to see upload speeds of a few hundred BYTES per second when uploading a book? I don't seem to have any problems with the various on-line speed-test widgets. But uploading a book is dragging on and on (and on, and...)

Is there a problem with the site that might be causing this?

P.S.

Speakeasy says I get 103Kbps upload -- call it about 10KBytes per second. But I'm seeing long periods of nothing, with the occasional 5KByte chunk headed up to Mobileread... Average upload to MR is currently running about 100 Bytes per second (5 minute average). Yuck!
