Dennis, Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you but I have been at the Local History Library where I had a machine booked for a project I am working on. I have also split the subject of the topic to try and separate out our discussion from the others.
I have not fully absorbed the information which you have given, and all may become clear as I work through it. However, some points do spring to mind: your upload and download speeds are pretty much the same as mine, my Pedigree pages are between (roughly) 10 and 15KB per page and I have the sources on each page. Because I have a load of stuff in the same folder I do not know the actual total size but I would think around 110 MB. I am not clear what type of pages to which you refer - Pedigree or Individual. At one time I used the latter for my One-Name pages with the default of 10 names per page, which I later increased, but I cannot check the size of these, as I no longer have any on my PC. I would be grateful if you could clarify what page is meant by : " I just created a new web page and found something strange between this one and the original I created. The new page is on 20.4MB vs 3.42GB." This is absolutely massive for one page! Brian's comment is very relevant, and it is a technique which I use if everything seems to be slow. Similarly when uploading I suggest that you shut down your browser and email client, and close as many programs as possible. What is your FTP program btw.?

The new page is on 20.4MB vs 3.42GB. I noted on the original file that for each each page created, I requested the source be included on the bottom of that page. However, for each record, the source for the previous record was included along with the new sources for the new record. By the time the last page was created it consisted of 9914 source records when in fact it should have no source recorded. The size of these files started at 4KB but with the additive sources the file sizes toward the end where 3134KB. Furthermore, it also created a separate Source file, containing all the sources. This file was 3201KB The page file sizes on the new web page I created are between 4KB and 16KB in size and don't have the source at the end of the each page. The Source file, is still there and still 3201KB. Not sure what I asked for it the set up that presented this the first time but apparently I changed that in the 2nd run. So I believe I can upload the database a little faster. I have a DSL connection. My upload is about .40Mbps while the download is suppose to 6Mbps. I still would like to go back and split my file but have not had much success in working through the info contained in Legacy or with help from Wendy. I'll have to try to upload the new file again to my web page and will let you know how long it took.
