Question To LL's On FS Movie Submits
 
What is the longest time you'll wait while a clip loads for playing before you reject the site.

6.3 seconds :D

It really depends on the mood I'm in, how the sites before have been loading, how your pages load, etc.

Daaammmnnn, you aren't waiting around at all are you :)?

So, all things being equal I guess a load time of 30 - 45 sec. plus for every one of the potential clips (which were only 30 sec clips to begin with) offered is too long huh? Shame, cause everything else was done with real quality and I hated to reject thinking maybe I was being too petty.

Thanks

Yikes...yea, that's a damn long time to wait. But, it also depends on your connection speed. If you're on dial up or really slow dsl, those times might be about right.

I'm on a 16mb connection, so 30 sec clips take around 4 or 5 secs to d/l. Your times will vary depending on how fast you hook up :)

Duh, forgot to answer your question |loony|

If the server is lagging to where it's d/ling at less than 30kb/sec, I'd probably pass on the site. However, what I usually do is review a few more sites and check it again. I can't recall the last time I kicked a site for being too slow.
