How to SPEED up PHP upload script??

I have a simple PHP upload script that uploads movies from computer to server.
It takes FOREVER to upload!!!!

I can upload files to the server with cpanel quickly, but when I use the script on my site, it is beyond slow.

Any PHP or server tips?

Thank you, Gloria

 

What kind of files you upload through the cpanel? Is it same size as the movie files you upload through the script? You should know that first.

Anyway there's nothing much to do with the script. Which script you use? Is it custom?

 

They are FLV files. Yes, I also notice they are slow to upload with cpanel.
Other files, such as swf and jpg upload quite fast.

Any ideas?

 

Video files are huge and hence take a huge time to upload. It's most likely not the script that is slow, just the line...

 

The files are 2 to 5 megs each. But take 2-5 minutes to upload. Is this normal?

 

I think it depends on your connection speed, 5mbs takes only a minute for me though.

It also can be that your upload script have some bugs(in file's validation?) that slow down the speed.

 

it depends on the connection speed of the client and server.

check in your config settings if there is a limit set on bandwidth per client.
