haha no its the way that MU works, if the file you are uploading has already been uploaded, it will take it from its servers rather than your computer... to try this and see find a popular movie that was released soo, unrar it and upload it with its scene rls name and you'll see.

youtube video is playing now, but the quality is poo poo.. You can see it at the end. IDK what has changed... I upoaded 1GB in a second after canceling it twice... I don't understand...

Maybe it is just comcastic? Lol, my service is comcast so I herd they were doing upgrades, I wonder is this part of it!?

Well, I just renamed one of my files to

mnvire nt349t fjkeo;asj;o

& uploaded it in one second & it was 600+MB

IDK, ?!?!

Try this:

Make a folder, put about 30-40 odd songs and videos. Compress the folder and then upload it.

The thing is, your HDD is unlikely to be able to even read 600MB/sec. The SATA2 cable has a peak transfer rate of 300MB/sec and no HDD actually maxes out the bandwidth. A standard HDD probably can't read faster than 100MB/sec (or if you have a crazy RAID0 setup with 4 SSDs, you could probably get around 300-400MB/sec). Considering other factors, such as fragmentation etc, I'd be surprised if your HDD could read more than 60MB/sec overall for the file.
It does seem the file isn't uploading, but MU rejecting it seems a little unlikely too. How would they know it's a duplicate? Hash the file beforehand? If so, the HDD would still have to read the entire file at least. The only methods it would have could be filesize + filename, though that seems a little problematic...

I think that MU is checking hash, otherwise its not possible to upload 500+ MB in a second. Not only is it physically impossible for home connections, its inconceivable.

I could be that whichever file you had downloaded, already has a has reference on the MU server. In that case, name change will not affect the file upload, I think. Seriously try to compress some files into a folder, compress the folder and then upload.

Anyway, possibilities:
- Transfer cut off - can you download the file without corruption?
- Caching, but unlikely for a 600+MB file

What's your home connection?

Thank you for the CAM Studio url! This is a really cool app!!! Thank you again!!

I got a good quality video. Take a look at this...

Source: YouTube

Video may not be processed yet, but I got to go to sleep I awake @ 5am & it is 1130.. YIKES!!

Let me know what you think it is.. IDK, Comcast increased speed?

I don't have a supped up PC either, it is pretty basic, I will post the specs later, but I re-downloaded one of the links it said was finished & it worked 100%%!! I could not believe it at all, I don't know what to say, I would like need someone else to test the link, but check out the video..

feinicks · 25/02/2009 12:37 AM

Post the link so wee can check it.

Probably like what Nacos said. That what I originally theorised as well (my 1st post).

Try uploading something that you know noone else would have. Simply changing the name might not work, since the size and checksum is still the same.

Still surprising to see a checksum calculated so quickly. Try doing a checksum on a 600MB file - it'll most likely take you a few seconds at least.
Just tried a 476MB file - takes around 10 seconds.
