Expected upload speeds of Desktop Uploader?

I have only used the Desktop Uploader a few times. I just started working with 360 imagery. Since those files are so large, I am noticing that the upload speed is pretty slow. I am getting 2-3MB upload speed. That is a fraction of my network’s upload speed. Do Mapillary servers rate limit, or is there a setting I can change in the Desktop Uploader to fix this?

There should not be any rate limiting - however I’ve also observed on occasion that for some reason upload speeds can be slow, and then they’ll go back to normal for a future upload. If you try again, do you still see the issue? cc: @caglarpmeta

Sorry for the trouble. I discovered that this is very unlikely unrelated to Mapillary. I have never had trouble on my network but it looks like something is wrong on my end. My network speeds are incredibly stunted right now.

I also had problems with my upload speed and tried several things without any noticeable improvement. Finally, I contacted my internet provider about a second connection, but they were too embarrassed to bother me and replaced the outdated fiber optic modem. Since then, I haven’t had any further problems. Sometimes unrealistic speeds are promised, and I suspect that customers rarely actually test the actual upload speed of their internet connection. It wasn’t Mapillary’s fault; Mapillary is a good method for testing your provider’s promises.
