I also tested the imageshack app 10 times to make sure it wasn't all
network issues. I was able to upload to imageshack faster and there was no
failures.

I don't think this is related to the code except if it is "timing out" too 
quickly. It is using an HTTP request. 

3G and Edge connections may be very slow, so the timeout checking may be too 
short? 

Can we change the timeout time for ImageShack uploading in case the user has a 
slow connection at the 
moment?

I have improved an error handling while uploading video.
Please retest this defect with different connections, small and large videos.

Still having a lot of issues uploading images while on 3g. Almost all image 
uploads
fail now with 3g. Most never make it past 128kb. If I press cancel and click 
send
again it may finish it's upload, but fails at 100%.

Wifi uploads, images and video, are reliable and stable, but video upload is 
very
slow even with highspeed uploads at 10megabit

Increased a chunk size up to 31.5 kB.
Corrected retries mechanism for the image uploading.
Corrected HTTP request creating.

Video uploads are working better now. They seem faster and are still reliable. 
Wifi
or 3g.

I'm still having issues uploading images through 3G. I was only able to upload 
1 out
of 10 images I tried. Most failed at 128kb. Some got to 100% and did nothing.

Can you reproduce this problem with ImageShake application?

Original comment by andriy.v...@gmail.com on 10 Mar 2010 at 5:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No. The imageshack app works almost all the time. In fact I use the imageshack 
app to
upload the errors from the yfrog app as I go.

Please retest this issue with new yfrog build.

I was able to upload 20 images in a row without a fail. I even was able to 
upload an
image while in between WiFi and G3. Looks fixed; however, I want to try tomorrow
morning during peak. Unless I see an issue we can close this bug then.
