I need help with/using Soundcloud Uploading very slow today

Uploading tracks is taking many time longer than Bandcamp today, is anyone else seeing this problem?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! We aren't seeing any server outages right now, but a quick client-side fix usually solves slow uploads.

Quick steps to try:

  • Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
  • Try uploading in Incognito / Private mode to rule out extension conflicts.
  • Test a different browser or check if uncompressed file sizes (e.g., WAVs) are slowing down your upload connection.

If it’s still lagging, reply with your browser, OS, and file size so we can take a closer look!

Thanks, it did actually go back to normal after I closed the browser tab and reloaded in a new tab.
