Community Forums / General Discussion / You OK Vimeo?

Definitely some flat tires this afternoon.

Well, i've just joined (the paid plus account), and can't load profile pic or vids. Hmmmm. Pages taking FOREVER to load. Not a very good start....

Sorry folks, we're working out some kinks.

I don't know if this is connected but here seems to be a problem with the page for the latest video I uploaded : 5000311. I uploaded it on Sunday and it was fine until yesterday. The video works fine when streamed on my web site but if I try loading the actual vimeo page, Internet Explorer crashes.

My other video pages on Vimeo are working fine - just 5000311 has this problem.

Thanks for your time.

Vimeo is great!

Love

I had been so proud of vimeo. I was about to buy the prime service. However, it would still be great if we were informed about what is going on. Videos can not be seen!

Slow as molasses for the last few days. For me Vimeo has always been one of the slowest sites I frequent, I don't know if that's their servers, their bandwidth, or the coding but whenever I'm surfing around and head over here it feels like the internet puts the breaks on. This is as true for the forums as it is pages with video, Vimeo in general always creeps along for me. Every other site I frequent is lickitysplit. During this week though it's been even moreso, pages stalling out, video's giving errors until I reload them multiple times, which is at a snails pace might I add.

Hope they get it worked out and would love it Vimeo ever got the kinks out of whatever it is that makes it one of the slowest sites I visit on a daily basis.

Shortly after I became a Plus member, Vimeo started acting sick. Unreliable uploading, slow page loads, etc. And sadly, it does not seem to be improving. I'm beginning to think that Vimeo's illness may be fatal.

Damn basement operations.

This is pretty poor. I can't even load my profile page at the moment, and this at a time when Beggars Group and Pitchfork and iTunes are negotiating exclusives for some of my videos. Make me look like a right amateur.

Any more info than 'technial issues' would be nice. That's not really all that informative. Some steer on what the issue is, what is being done and how soon we can expect some kind of resolution would be helpful.

Patiently waiting for Vimeo to work out it’s “Kinks”. Wish there was a little more communication from the staff on updates with the kinks. I’m a huge fan of Vimeo and don’t plan on going anywhere, just think it would help some with us Plus members to hear some feedback a little more from the great staff other than working out some kinks.

Love the service -

Ive those problems for 3 days now... ;(

So slow it beggars belief! Please resolve it sson before I and others loose interest and go elsewhere :-(

ily, Vimeo.

Just tried to download a 265MB HD video from vimeo on my 5Mbps connection here in the UK: estimated download time more than 8 hours!!!

you people complaining remind me of this video

(i know, ew youtube, but the point is still relevant)

Thanks to everyone for bearing with us, site performance has gotten better and we continue to focus on this issue.

The BASIC UPLOADER works for me. There needs to be a link to it under the normal upload hover.

why so slow vimeo? hope you get better soon as well.

Hmm, took me a long time to come back to Vimeo and I think my timing is perfect :) No slow upload times etc. today :)

Vimy feel better...?

;)

wow, the last week or so, the vim site is soooo slow here in canada, all other sites are fast. When will this be fixed?? thanks

Format. . .start again! :)

We're working on this, I assure you. Thanks to everyone for your patience.

Hi Guys,
Not able to share videos or send file to facebook. is it me or you? Thanks!!!

i love Vimeo, but now that there is a paid service....the free service wait time is ridiculous!

I don't understand how over 9 hours to upload seems reasonable to Vimeo!?
Has there just been problems yesterday and today?

...ok, so videos uploaded an hour ago are already visible, yet videos from 9 hours ago are still converting.
What is happening here? Should I reload these videos?

Not helping me at all, I'm submitting a short film to a competition and trying to get the video up everywhere; wait time is extraordinary and doesn't exactly encourage me to splash out on Vimeo+. :(

Hey Blake,

Don't get me wrong, it's probably inevitable that I'm upgrading to Plus, I just found wait times of several hours a little bit too much to digest. Fine, a standard 30 minute wait I can handle, but 2hrs 20mins? Anyway, good luck with restoring business as usual.

It's all good. The Vimeo team is awesome. Don't tell us anything. I don't mind. We don't need to know. Get it up when you can. I'm being serious, not sarcastic. "it's going to space and back."

Hmmmm. Sorry guys. This wait time thing is beyond ridiculous. Why should I pay for a service where many others are FREE? You need to get ad based support. Not going to pay. Vimeo was good and I highly recommended it, but now, with the harsh wait times (I started a 180mb file before I went to sleep and it was still uploading!), I have to move on. Most Video under 10 minutes for most people and youtube is still allowing this for free and much, much faster.

BTW, I am a filmmaker here in LA, CA who posts dailies for others to see, critique. GO AD BASED, NOT subscription!
