STREAMYX WOES

Looks like we are never going to be on the internet superhighway fast enough. Every alternate week, Streamyx is getting erratic. This time it is the pits - downloading a 5MB file takes me over 7 minutes. Look at the report - what do you think? Streamyx had better buck up if it wants to stay relevant.

Blogger's FTP Image Publishing Returns To Normal

Barely having posted 24 hours about the complaints I received on Blogger not publishing to FTP servers, I am please to inform readers of this blog that everything has returned to normal, at least where I am from. If you are facing FTP publishing problems, let me know.

Blogger Not Uploading Images To FTP Servers?

I received two comments this morning of Blogger not being able to upload images to FTP servers. One came from Scott Johnson and the other from Tony Chai. When I faced the problem, I waited a few days before posting any image. I suggest if you are facing any such problem you wait for Blogger to rectify it. Meanwhile, you should also check with your service provider and see if they have acted any firewall that prevented the remote postings.

My suspicion is that because of the spam of DOS that are going around (read: Twitter), chances are that service providers and hosts are more careful of any remote posts. I would think that they have upgraded their security solutions and this couls play a small part in remote FTP posts.

Solution: Get a helpful host like Pair.Com which I have used without fail. Their link is here: Pair Networks.
