Hi,
I have a collection of "John Steele, Adventurer" (circa 49-51) that I don't find listed on this site. The audio on some of them isn't great, but it's a nice addition to any OTR collection. Problem is, size of the collection and slow upload speeds.

Specifics:
1. 40 Files, 382 MB total
2. I read the section on FTPing (I've FTP downloaded many times), but still not clear on uploading.
3. Upload speed. It took me nearly two hours to upload 50MB with the "simple" file uploader (I have a fast machine and DSL). At that rate it would take about 15 hours to upload 382 MB. Does FTPing uploads upload it a lot faster than the "easy method? I would not want to tie up my computer/internet for that long.

Sorry about these dumb questions, but I would like to make these (and probably other) shows available here.
Phil

I use the open FTP in windows option to upload. I never have much luck with the uploader. I can upload a 700 mb CD in about an hour with a cable modem.
