Does anyone know how long the average file uploaded to youtube takes? I know it can vary depending on time day, server issues etc... but lately my uploads are taking extremely long... Longer than they ever have before. For example a video of about 1GB took about 10 hours and another hour or so to process - I have tried uploading the same file during and outside the traffic management hours but the time taken seems to stay constant. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my internet connection or YouTube itself. I know there was a big issue with streaming videos a while back that went on for some time, thankfully VM seem to have resolved this. If it is an issue with Youtube itself are there any tips for getting quicker uploads, I have heard you can use proxy servers? How do you do this? Also someone recommends taking the (s) out of https:// url but when I do this it always defaults it back to the secure connection.
