Timed out with FP 2000 and filezila

Oct 18, 2005 1:32AM PDT

I switched webhosting companies...this new one seems to have some issues. I have a large site, about 8oo meg..a few are 88meg (slideshows. Using Front Page 2000 or filezila(ftp)...I am dropped all too often due to a "timed out". I do not run anything else while uploading. Uploading the whole site is taking days due to this. Also, for what is there...some people tell me they can not reach it using the web address, only the IP address. Tracert times out at 208.44.62.27, how mcuh is this is related to maybe the uploading issues. I am not getting any answers of help from the webhoster...."well, it is working fine here" answers is about it. I do have a 30 day period to cancell which I might have to envoke. Ideas? Thanks.

Some ISPs...

Some ISPs "shape" bandwidth which can cause the timeout from your PC to the FTP server. There are also issues with firewalls and spyware that can be at play here.

time out

Scans show nothing...firewall shut off, which is spooky and dangerous even for a few mins. Time out. As for the access by web address, is it possible that not all the DNS have been updated since this is new as of 10/12/05.?

Google time.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=DNS+PROPAGATION+TIME finds what we need to know about propagation. HOWEVER we don't need to wait if you use IP addresses that the route is in place for. DNS is only needed for NAMES which we can sidestep by using the actual IP address.

However if a new segment or route is needed, it can take a few days for the world to learn the new route.

hosting problems

sounds to me like you've stumbled upon a dodgy host.

I would advise cancelling and trying with someone you know to be more reliable.
