I'm guessing your internet speed is slower than mine. I think mine is 4MB up and Down is 30MB. I need to check because my ISP keeps upgrading the speeds every year.

My son's Internet is slow. I uploaded a 5GB flash drive to his online storage (not Copy or Dropbox). It said it would take over 24 hours.

I haven't had any issues with throttling of my network. After the initial upload of my media files (roughly 28GB) everything else has been quick to up- and downloads from copy. Still using dropbox for some integrated apps for backup, but Copy has become my primary online storage.

I've come to believe it's my internet speed that's the issue

Is there anyway to use either Copy or SugarSync to mirror one computer to another one way only, and not sync them back and forth? In other words, I want Computer A to sync to the cloud and to Computer B, so B is really a mirror of A and the cloud.

Is that possible with any of the cloud storage sites? I keep trying to set that up for my netbook but I can't stop them from syncing back and forth.

What are your download and upload speeds?

This is what I got when I tested it online:

Is it terrible? I have no idea what the results mean

That's ADSL1 speed, struggling. What are you supposed to have?

Not great. I get 13.5 Gb download speed, and 4.7 Gb upload.

No you don't. You might perhaps get 13.5 MBit/sec download speed (I get about 16MBit/sec). No way do you get 13.5 Gb.

Yes, I want that ISP if that's what's on offer - only need to D/L once a year to get everything you want...

Now you're just nitpicking...

Or maybe I just am...

Actually, when I did another test (not via Bandwidth.com) I get 23.4 Mb download and 5.5 Mb upload. Quite a difference, so probably worth trying a few different speed test providers.

Is this a cable connection? Your upload speed makes me think it probably is. ADSL in the UK is typically limited to 1MBit upload speed.
