Flickr FAIL
Flickr’s alleged More Better Desktop Uploader Version 3.1.3 — which when I tried to download hung up on 1.8mb (the file is supposed to be 14.7mb). I have DSL that is this fast according to speedtest.net:
and I get this from flickr:
I am perfectly happy with Version 3.0.5 even if it makes me enter my tags twice, once on the uploader and again when it opens my flickr account after the upload. But at least it worked when I wanted to upload photos to my accounts. Yes I have more than one Flickr account, one for every Yahoo email account I maintain. I am not ready to shell out US$24.95 a year as of yet, maybe later when I get my real camera and take real pictures.
This new version they’re touting doesn’t even download. Comments on the Flickr Help forum attest that there is something wrong with the server they put in on, and when you do get to download it, the older program is much better. Go on over to the forum and see for yourself.
Nope, I’m sticking to my 3.0.5. Even the jUploadr for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows works better.
