how much time to create a droplet from a snapshot image?
I want to create a 2GB 40GB droplet from an old 1GB 20GB snapshot.
The panel stuck on "Approximately 57 seconds remaining" since 60-70 minutes :)
status says: "new"

    @dnkalinin If it is taking an hour to create a droplet based on a snapshot, please open a support ticket so the team can take a closer look. It can take some time to convert the image to a larger format, but certainly not that long.

    Ops! I'm creating a 8GB droplet from a 4GB snapshot... I think about that I will can't sleep tonight.
    The snapshot took 12 minutes :S

    you are right, some time it does take such huge times, but having said that, one must note, restore or creation time depends on the size of the disk also..

LOL, such slow time in 2015! very poor Support - by the time they reply ( after many hours) we have wasted our hourly billing for unused droplet run time

Worst thing is even destroy takes me >10 mins to and still waiting LOL
