Freesound seems to have very slow upload and download speeds. My connection (tested with Speedtest.net) gives me 50Mbps download and 17Mbps upload, and all other sites seem to transfer data at reasonable speeds.

But not Freesound, at least for the last month or so.

Downloads typically time out after several minutes and I have to resume maybe a dozen times to download a 20MB file.

At present I'm trying to upload two 10MB files, but no luck. Upload speeds range from 0.00001 to 0.001 of my usual upload speeds with the result that I can't upload my files.

So, is this a problem at my end (I'm in Tasmania, using OSX 10.9, running Firefox 78.4.0), or is something amiss with Freesound?
