[Closed]: Uploading from URL: Speed Issues
Prisoner_24601:
I do a lot of uploading from other websites. That means I upload from URLs. However, there are significant speed issues when I do so. As a for instance,
I upload the CPG logo from http://coppermine-gallery.net/images/coppermine-logo.png using the "simple - one file at a time" interface and it takes about 5 seconds to upload.
I upload the CPG logo from http://coppermine-gallery.net/images/coppermine-logo.png using "Multiple files - Flash-driven (recommended)" and it takes 30 seconds to upload.
I upload the same file directly from my computer, using either method, and it's immediately uploaded. Blammo.
I then repeated the above with a normal-sized JPG (256K file) and ... I got the exact same times for both Flash and Simple. Uploading the file from my computer took 5 seconds.
Is there some setting in CPG that makes uploading via Flash/Simple take a minimum amount of time? Any way to speed things up a tad?
(I do notice "•Warning line 6192: exec() [function.exec]: Unable to fork [tasklist /FI "PID eq 3768" /FO LIST]" for \include\functions.inc.php when Debug is on, right after uploading any file.)

I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that there was a form I had to fill out. I will try to do that for you when I get the chance.
In any event, could you please tell me if the behavior I'm seeing with the uploader(s) is normal?

In cpg1.5.x the silly feature URI upload from cpg1.4.x was dropped. This means: you never upload by URL in cpg1.5.x. You always upload by file, i.e. from your client's drives to the webserver.

What form? You can provide the needed information in any way you like. There's no form - you just tell us the details in plain text.

As I have no idea what you're trying to do I need you to do as suggested per docs - there's a reason why that chapter in the docs exists, and there is a reason why board rules say that you're only allowed to post after having read the corresponding section of the docs. It doesn't matter wether you're a contributor or not: you need to respect board rules no matter what. You haven't, that's why I can't tell you more.

Do you need step-by-step? Are we referring to different things?
Here the step-by-step process for Win 7 64-bit. My CPG host is a Win2003 machine, so it's IIS:
1. Click "Upload file".
2. Under the "Album" drop-down that says "Select Album", select an album.
3. Click the "Browse" button.
4. You get a standard "Select file(s) to upload" dialog. Under "File name", type in a URL (say, http://coppermine-gallery.net/images/coppermine-logo.png).
5. Click the "Open" button.
6. Wait 30 seconds. The file will load and be shown under "1 files uploaded:"
Viola. File uploaded from URL.
I think that the "http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upload_troubleshooting.htm#upload_support" link is great and wonderful, but it asks me to go ahead and use the "simple file upload". I'm not having any issues with that, so that step is moot. I also don't particularly care if user accounts do have access to do anything: my CPG was never really much more than a browseable gallery that people can add comments to, so those steps are moot. And I had read that section when I installed 1.5.3, thus my post.
Finally, I asked a yes/no question: "Is it normal for the Flash uploader to take that long?" If yes, then I don't have an issue. If no, I'd be more than willing to provide more details for you to improve your product.
