Mediamax has struggled for the past several weeks with uploads and processing which were originally addressed to an uptick in upload traffic, but later reported to be caused by a database error which they hoped to have fixed soon.
Since around midday yesterday (CET) the upload system seem to have collapsed totally with upload speed being only a fraction of what people used to get and almost always sooner or later dropping to near zero before the upload crashing altogether. I have not notice an entry about this on MediaMax own blog about this also and seeing V6 beta has been delayed and we still have to muddy around with V5 it would be a good thing if they could patch up the system a little at least.

Version six delayed - 84% of voters with significant or extreme problems with Mediamax
There is a posting on the last blog entry here from John Hood of Mediamax, stating:

We've had a huge uptick in uploading recently which has taxed our resources. This situation will be alleviated with v6.
beta testing has been delayed until the UI is finished. we want to create a quality product and think that's more important than rushing something out which is what happened with v5. I think we can all agree that was an unfortunate decision as we've said before. Having said that, we should be releasing the api shortly.
Thanks for your patience.

I've missed updating the voting figures.
The response to the question "How do you rate the Mediamax service in December 2007?" was:
A: No problems : 4 votes (10.5%)
B: Rare problems : 6 votes (15.8%)
(within tolerable levels)
C: Significant problems : 10 votes (26.3%)
(difficult to tolerate)
D: Extreme problems : 18 votes (47.4%)
(causing severe difficulties)
There were just 39 votes in this round and I didn't manage to set things up for January voting.
It seems we are all a bit tired of the situation with Mediamax.
If anyone would like posting rights for this blog to keep people informed of experiences with version 6, please let me know.
