Will this help speed things up?

Hehe - already have 5000GB/month. (and more bandwidth doesn't give more speed - just more data )

Not a connecton problem. I'm on 100Mbit, but it's only sending *kilobytes* of info during this part of vB's processing. (there's no real i/o between server and user during this part)

3. Only allow them to upload 1 file at a time. (.rar it and upload it)

Hehe, the whole part of the flash uploader is so we can upload 2000+ at a time, so we can get all 250,000+ images into the system. I think one at a time and it would take 100 of us a couple lifetimes each doing it single file/time.

It had nothing to do with bandwidth or speed - it was a simple coding problem with the way vB used it's java coding to show users their attached files after they finished uploading and before they clicked submit. They were already actually attached to the message - we foudn this out by not waiting for them to list, and just clicking submit anyway while vB was still listing them. Low and behold they were all showing up fine in the completed post. So we ended up just removing the part of code that listed all the attachments to the user after uploading, and things are flying now. :up: The flash uploader displays progress the entire time anyway, so the user can see they're uploading successfully or not that way, so removing vB's part of the code that lists the files was all that was needed.

Thanks for your replies everyone!
