    Does anyone else here find pix.ie very slow to upload photos?

    I've been using photobucket up until now, but decided to use pix.ie due to larger storage etc but its taking hours to upload 8 photos. Normally photobucket would take 15-20 mins, but pix.ie is saying its going to take 5 hours to finish the upload.

    never had a problem with pix.ie for uploading
    (I always size the photos to 72dpi to ease the uploading)

    I find pixie to be fine, easily upload 10-20 pictures in minutes. at fairly high quality ( I do have insanely good upload speeds though). I usually reduce the quality of the Jpegs i stick on there too!
    Maybe worth adding your complaint to the pix.ie thread, they are usually really good at getting bac to you on there!

    OP, are you using the flash or HTML version of the uploader?

    I've had continuous issues with uploading to pix.ie, it would seem that if it works, it works well, but if you have issues then you could be in trouble.

    I uploaded 500+ Mb of photos again today - 124 full resolution full frame 5D photos - in one hour ten minutes. And that's with NTL and their atrocious upload speeds. So.. nope. I'm guessing it's a fault at your end? Would be worth getting onto help@pix.ie though. They are possibly the most helpful site in the universe :)

    Thanks all for chipping in!

    If you need any help or assistance, we're more than happy to help. Email support help@pix.ie As Sinead mentioned :)

    ...and BTW there has been major problems with the Internet in Ireland this evening with Eircom's DNS outage...

    Ah... nice one Marcus. I'm on eircom but was thinking that the lap-top had got a bug. That makes a lot of sense and brings some relief too.

    They finally got the hint and upgraded me to a 10mb download line. I was on 100kb upload though. Actually, off to blacknight to check my upload speed now...

    I managed to upload a few using the old upload thing (not flash), but the speeds were still bad. I noticed that eircom seems to have gone down in my area today so I'lll try again once thats sorted.

    Any more problems after that and I'll e-mail the pix.ie people. It's prob something wrong on my end though.
