Question

Intermittent slow upload to Spaces via s3cmd

Posted May 8, 2020 293 views
DigitalOcean Spaces

We’ve been exploring Spaces and faced an issue of intermittent slow uploads via s3cmd. Sometimes the speed is up to 10 MB/s and sometimes it’s 100 KB/s. Large files are being broken down into pieces by s3cmd automatically. The DO support has been silent about that for a few days.

Is this the reality of Spaces or something is broken? 3GB was uploading for 6 hours. We need to upload 200 GB.

    I’m seeing comically slow upload speeds as well with s3cmd over the last two days.

    No responses from DO? I think I’ll be switching to another provider soon.

Hello, all

I am currently not seeing any reported problems with Spaces on the DigitalOcean status page here:

https://status.digitalocean.com/

I know the question was originally asked a few months ago, but I’ll leave the link so anyone can check it as future reference.

Can you please share a little bit more information regarding the issue that you are seeing like:

  • Which is the exact location that you’ve created your Space in?

  • Also, what is the exact size of the images that you are uploading?

  • Can you share a screenshot of your web console network tab with the problematic images load time?

Regards,
Alex

I had/have the same problem. A copy from a droplet in ams3 to spaces in ams3.

It seems that s3cmd sync . s3://bucket-name does speed it up a bit more. There are however still problems with the upload speed and random drops.
