Thanks for the info Tootler. The files I uploaded were roughly in the range 300-500 Mb, which is still makes my uploads a lot longer than proportional from your times. Maybe I'll try sending a different format next time. (I just had a look at one of the ones I uploaded and my downloaded helper offers me 720p/480p/360p and 240p as options (as well as flv) so the max res I uploaded seems to be available.).

If anyone else has any suggestions I'd welcome them.

Mick
