Some of our students are reporting long download times for our lessons. this is the time from finishing a page and going to the next. We wanted to ask the community what everyone is doing to improve upload times? Our data is stored on godaddy ssd servers but it still seems slow at times.

Are you thinking it's the servers or the connectivity of the users perhaps?
I have read that article before, :). It seems to me that it takes a bit to long pull up the content. if I send you a private link to a lesson could you tell me if the pages have to much data? do you have a recommended download speed? I was wondering what type of servers people are storing the content in, Amazon S3 for example or are they storing them on their hosting account.
Actually, Sven, did you receive an email with a case number, and if so, can you share your case number? I don't see anything in our case queue.
If you didn't get a case number, will you give it a shot again? Maybe the browser got hung up. You should receive an email within, at most, 10 minutes with a case number attached. You can also check your junk/spam folder. Thanks!
Ok, that's frustrating. Sorry you're going through this. One other thing to try-- do you have another browser that you could use? And you may be getting this, but you should see these two steps:

and then...
If this isn't working, could you please email support@articulate.com, and an engineer can reach out to you directly and try to get your project file from you in another way?
Hey again, Sven. We've set up a case for you (00887329), so we'll be sure to follow along to make sure you're getting some help. You should receive an email from Justin Grenier as a confirmation. Thanks again for reaching out!
