Tester needed for Project X

[Abarbarian]

Hi I have a new toy and need a tester to see how it works. I need someone who has and is willing to,

1) a pc with two browsers, IE and FF prefered

2) willing to give their real upload and download speed

3) willing to download a 300MB file and inform how long this took

4) willing to download some pictures about 10MB and inform how long it took

5) view a streamed video on the net via a web page and give an opinion on its performance

6) send me an e-mail addy so I can send them a secure link to the content

7) give me an overall impression of the experience

Seems like a lot but it would only take a few minutes apart from the downloading. Naturally I would be oh so grateful and if I make millions rewards would be forthcoming

It is nothing dodgy and all the content is clean and checked.

I had to turn of NoScript in FF on Mandy and XP to view all the content on the site. I'm looking into how to tweak NS to allow all the site.
There is no rush for the results. Yesterday would be good.

Ok Abarbarian, all done

Video and mp3 played fine in ie7 and FF 3.6, all the images came up within a second or two and enlarged fine.

Download speed was a bit leisurely shall we say. I downloaded MVI_0122 in 1hr 11mins from FF and about the same for IE7, the mp3 took 3mins 50 +/- 1 second in both browsers. Pictures again took quite a while to download, between 10 and 20 seconds for each one

The site is quite good other than the incredibly slow download speed which is the only thing that really lets it down

Many thanks Me_2001.

Did you join Pogoplug or just bypass that step and just view from the web browser ?

Have to scratch me head a bit here, as when I tried to play the mp3 in Mandy on FF the controls were not accessible and the only way I could stop it playing was to close the web page.

Do you have NoScript in FF and if you do did you have to disable it or tweak it at all ?

Once again many thanks. Hope you liked the First Night Party.

Review of Project X will appear shortly.
