  Upload Improvements
Wed, Apr 18, 2012 • 04:46 PM UTC - By raf

Upload TrackOn Monday morning we released a new version of the track uploader.  

The functionality is all the same, but we made some major under-the-cover improvements to address the dreaded Error #2038 and to improve upload speeds.  

You should now see zippier and more stable uploads.  By the way, there are now over 190,250 tracks posted to Kompoz!

Not sure what has happened today (04/20/12) 15:25 UK. Trying to download 3 files - 127mb taking >30min @apprx 70kbs.
Before these improvements it was coming down at 400+

Forgot to mention, this was after 1 drop out.

Quick update - speed has dropped down to 28kp/s. This could be a loooooong wait

  Harpline on Fri, Apr 20, 2012 @ 03:05 PM UTC

Well, that just took 35min to download 127MB.
Checked my system download speed during this (cable) - 100MB/s

I seem to have lost the option to upload Zip files since this update. Is this correct?

That's a bit of a bummer when you have a batch of WAV files to upload. Uncompressed obviously taking me considerably longer than usual.

Got a 403 error on my first attempt at a multiple upload, which I haven't seen before.

I too have lost the ability to upload Zip files - why has this been removed?

I just did my first upload batch since the upgrade, and the change was obvious. Well done and thanks Raf

Great improvement!! Thank you Raf :) however can we still keep the zip upload feature?

Thankyou Raf mp3 are much quicker. Just a note, I can't seem to upload multiple wavs now. Every time it hits the fourth file I get a 403 error and it all stops.

Hmm....It's taken me all morning to upload 4 wavs so far and had 2 errors. Shame Zip files aren't supported any more.

My upload speed is about 450Kbps through my ADSL line (a bit crap, but about average for the UK). Is this maybe impacting on people more who aren't in the US and have slower upload speeds / greater latency ??? dunno..... going to sulk now and upload some cowbell seps.

No Zip upload! Surely you jest or Shirley...that's some chest!!!

How can our many drummers deal with multiple sep uploads and why have you singled them out for punishment!!!

Is the lack of Zip upload due to some limitation or is it now a "premium" feature? Strange too that these last few observations concerning the change have gone unanswered for so long. Me thinks a conspiracy is afoot!

I think someone should run over to Raf's house and check to make sure his broadband line hasn't been cut by some Indanababadaboom representative. Has anyone seen Steve???? It's the Inda Cartel I tell you, they are fed up with being second best.

However if they support Zip file uploads....hmmm. (Someone feel free to slap the clown roaring in the corner!)

Hi Mark,
I feel your pain on the loss of ZIP file uploads - especially for us drummers. I'm a premium member and there's no ZIP upload for me either.

Also, if you upload more than 3 files at once, then the 4th one always fails. I usually have to reload the page to get it working again, then I end up reloading some sups twice! (but that's me being dorky).

Raf, I'd be curious to know if the Rest API still supports ZIP uploads even though the UI doesn't? Thinking of having a bit of a geeky dabble...

Well perhaps I have been away too long but I experience something I have not experienced in the now 5 years I have been here. "Failed download".

Probably just a coincidence but I attempted to download a number of tracks today (which of course come packed in a Zip) and got the aforementioned error message fully five times. I have had to actually cut down the number of files put in the download cart until I was downloading only one file at a time.

I think I must dispatch more black helicopters to Raf's abode, the Cartel has gone too far this time!
