Thanks for your reply Tijmen Smit and cutrano. The host increased the time. I learned, not sure if its a pattern, but the day went on past 5pm and the data upload got better, makes me think day time hours the internet is sluggish, then after work it gets better, about 530 pm I was able to increase it to 800. It would be helpful to have a sidedoor, i.e., ftp the database. Ps: Host is Dreamhost with Dreampress
