Hi all,
I am working in rails (1.2.6 version), i developed file upload using
file_column plugin in my application, it is working fine, but thought that
it is bit slow.
i need another upload system that make the rails faster for upload and it
should match for my version (1.2.6). Instead of uploading a single file
(eg:10 mb file).
i) Can we split the file into say 5 mb,5mb. in the client side and upload
both splited file by running multiple thread in serverside ?. (Is that
possible ?)
ii) Which upload system/technic/plugin is faster and efficient for this
version (1.2.6) ?
iii) How can we create file upload like facebook, it is very fast, they
provide plugin for client side and upload the file in background. ?
iv) which plugin good for upload
a). ***Act as Attachement*
b). Paper clip
c). attachment_fu
v) Required:
a) Easy integration with rmagick or similar image processing plugins
b) Simple to use and customize
vi) Nice to have:
a) Multiple uploads
b) progress bar
Rejoice *+ o +*

(Is that possible ?)The upload speed of the file will in 99% of all cases be determined by the maximum upload speed on the client side. If the user''s upload is capped to 128kbit/sec, nothing is going to make it faster. Another reason could be you are hosting your app on a shared host, moving to a more appropriate VPS host close to your location is your way to go then. If you''re hosting internally and your app is slow, then your server might not be up to the task anymore.> ii) Which upload system/technic/plugin is faster and efficient for > this version (1.2.6) ?They are all equally fast, the bottleneck isn''t on the server side.> iii) How can we create file upload like facebook, it is very fast, > they provide plugin for client side and upload the file in > background. ?You can read the whole background about the facebook upload plugin at: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=178492968919 Good luck programming a similar plugin yourself, as far as I know Facebook hasn''t opensourced it. It''s a very nice thing they did btw, the uploads actually aren''t faster than normal, facebook developers have just been able to make the perception of the upload time different by using their local thumbnailing and background uploading.

They all require quite good knowledge of the technology you''re using. Flash based uploaders use Javascript for the most part, so you''d better be comfortable with it. Simply googling for "rails multiple upload" should give you enough pointers to get started.

Hi Peter, I got clear idea from ur reply. So i stay back with file_column plugin, now what i need is a very simple progress bar to show the upload status i googled for mongrel_upload_progress but i didn''t find any clear doc, please suggest me on this. I need to implement very simple progress bar, Is there any sample swfupload application available for rails like PHP, Asp. Actually i don''t need multiple upload feature i need just upload progress bar. Thanks in advance.

Another big help would be to read the docs from the component you are using instead of looking for prechewed food. Some links that immediately stand out: http://github.com/davidsouth/rails-swfupload http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/161291 Good luck!
