If the app is uploading slowly to the Dropbox servers, then something could be throttling that connection. Are you certain that you have no other software that could be monitoring the Dropbox folder or app?
A growing frustration is that any updates made will either not take effect at all, take several seconds to reflect in the Connected Boards widget, or just never show up in the widget and we have to refresh to see the changes. Given the slow loading times, this only exacerbates the issue.
Nope no solution. nothing dropbox support suggested helped. I actually have my ISP coming out tomorrow to do some work. figured I'd wait for that to finish before pursuing this any further. Although nothing they are going to do is going to help since my current dropbox upload speeds are already way slower then what I currently get from my ISP.
I'd really like to get this resolved since aside from these speed issues I'm happy with dropbox. But if this can't be resolved, I'm going to look for another service to replace dropbox. There's no point in paying for 2 TB of storage space if it's too slow to actually make use of the space.
I too have been experiencing very slow upload / Sync speeds for about the last two weeks or more.
I only use the Desktop App and prior to this issue developing I had the Bandwidth setting set at the default, I have since changed to Unlimited upload and back again to default and back again to unlimited. None of which change/help the issue.
The main file I'm having issues with is Quickbooks DB file.
The file used to sync, after closing Quickbooks at the most within 30 seconds. Now it starts out saying, for example, 2+ days, then 6 hours then after up to 5 minutes it's synced.
Same here. Got gpt plus and today it did not even respond at all to simple messages. I waited for about one minute and nothing happened. The days before it was unusable slow. Sorry, but letting people pay and obviously using the capacity somewhere else is not pretty nice. I will cancel my subscription since I pay for something (quite a lot) I cannot even use.
@DainisLV @Kotala It's not ideal - but I mutually block all traffic between peers that I know are on the same LAN. This forces the traffic to use the physical LAN connection instead of the Hamachi VPN connection. It means the peers on the same LAN always appear as "red" to each other, but it gets around the slow traffic between machines.
If you envision a different way to roast, where the oven is only 60C (140F) warm. Then the meat will at no time be hotter than the oven at 60C (140F). The center of the meat will slowly heat up to 60C (140F) without any of it turning gray.
The reason that the flesh must rest, is that the heated water inside the meat is under pressure. It expands and produces steam. The pressure forces the liquid out of the meat when you cut it. That pressure disappears when the water is cooled down. The water in slow cooked meat is not so hot. Therefore, there is not as much pressure and the liquid stays inside.
My slow cooker/crockpot has a "keep warm" setting which, according to my thermometer, keeps the heat for as long as you like at about 65 degrees Celsius (about 150 degrees Fahrenheit), which is ideal for beef or lamb. And slow cookers are cheap, because they are simple and ubiquitous, unlike specialised equipment with fine temperature controls.
I sear the meat in a very hot frying pan to get the Maillard Reaction going, before taking it off the heat and applying a coating (last time, I used English mustard, thyme, salt & pepper), then putting it on a rack in the slow cooker.
I use the "high" setting to get things going quicker for an hour or so. Then, if you switch to "keep warm", the internal temperature of the meat should never exceed the optimum, according to your probe thermometer. If your own slow cooker's "warm" setting is too high, adjust your methods; maybe by having the lid only half on. On a roasting rack, the meat won't be directly contacting hot surfaces, so this could work.
100F is WAY too low to cook, it would be like putting it outside on a hot summer day. You are just asking for pathogens to grow! I think the reason ovens don't go below 170F is for safety. And 170F is plenty low enough for slow cooking.
I had been forced to slow down, first due to being heavily pregnant, and then by having a small baby in tow. This was when I started making images that were truly my own vision, and to which I feel much more strongly and personally connected.

Flavorful, succulent, fall-apart tender boneless leg of lamb, seasoned Greek-style with loads of garlic, rosemary, oregano and citrus. Let your slow cooker do all the magic as this lamb leg cooks along with pearl onions in a special wine broth. Watch the how-to video toward the end of this post, grab all my tips and step-by-step below. (Don't have a slow cooker? No worries! See braising instructions.)
If you've checked out my Kleftko recipe, then you already know that boneless leg of lamb can be just as impressive a dish. And in this recipe, we let the slow cooker do all the heavy lifting. Because, let's face it, who doesn't love the ease of dumping everything into the crock, push a button, walk away, and return to a hot, fall-apart piece of meat ready to serve?!
1. Bring to room temperature, if possible. If you have the time, remove lamb from your fridge and season with salt and pepper then let it rest at room temperature for a bit (bring it to room temperature if possible.) This allows for efficient and even cooking (I know, we are using a slow-cooker, but it still helps, if you have the time.)
You can absolutely still make this boneless leg of lamb even if you don't have a slow cooker. You can use a Dutch oven or an oven safe heavy pot to braise the leg of lamb instead. Important note: You will need to increase the liquid amount from 1 cups to 3 cups. Here is how it goes:

I was really excited for this and followed the recipe exactly. Mine came out watery, not creamy like a coconut curry sauce should be. I used chicken thigh meat which may be juicier than breast meat. I suspect my slow cooker is just too hot. It seems like it is overcooked and mushy. Anyone else have this problem?
I often cook sweet potatoes in the slow cooker and I like the results, but then I love sweet potatoes pretty much any way you can make them. They come out of the slow cooker very wet though, so I think it would produce an entirely different result than roasting them.
Cooks Illustrated has does a baked sweet potato where they microwave for 6min or so to bring it up to 200deg which cuts the baking time. That may be faster/less mushy than the slow cooker, but probably not as good as the legit method :) Would need to prick the skin for the microwave
These look amazing! My husband and I live in Japan and have been eating tons of sweet potatoes this winter. Yakiimo are a very popular winter food here- you can find them slow roasted at street carts and festivals over charcoal or cooked over campfires. Our local grocery store even roasts them in the afternoon and puts them out on a cart as people are shopping so they can have an easy side for meals that night. Defitely wish I could try this with red sweet potatoes though as Japanese ones can be so dense.
Made this last night along with some oven-roasted veggies and pork tenderloin. Loved that the slow roast made the potato skins a little more palatable. I drizzled some balsamic honey reduction on top (that I made for the pork) and they were fantastic!
I usually do not eat sweet potatoes. But, after reading your useful article about slow roasted sweet potatoes, I get interest to test this item. I hope I can make it soon and serve it to my friends in our next gathering.
I have been mixing this recipe with enchilada chicken sweet potatoes from Skinnytaste. I bake the sweet potatoes with this recipe, omitting the oil and salt. I then throw some frozen chicken breasts and canned enchilada sauce in the slow cooker for 6 hours. When the chicken breasts are done, I shred them. I slice down the middle of each sweet potato and stuff with the chicken. I then top them with green onions and reduced fat mexican cheese. The broil the stuffed potatoes and then Yum!
