Is it just me or is Flickr really slow at uploading?

[Uglulyx Takes Photos Too]

Is it just me or is flickr really slow when it comes to uploading, I have 3 pictures that have been taking 15 minutes.

I just ftp into my server to upload photos so much easier and quicker.

Hi ShaCow,

>is using a server your favorite way to back up your images?

>what kind of server did you buy?

Pictured below is the Hewlett Packard EX475 server. Not sure if it's any good, but it was featured in the November 2007 issue of Pop Photo, page 79. You can buy one for right around 700USD/360BP/7300MXN/72,700JPY.
