Upload speed comparison between DTube and YouTube

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


I have been uploading videos on YouTube for a long time,
and just recently started uploading meditatino and running videos on DTube.
I wanted to see which platform is faster, so I did a small experiment

  • Round 1

DTube on Firefox vs. YouTube on Chrome
I gave DTube a head start, assuming it is slower than YouTube.
But as you can see in the video, DTube crushed it.
Maybe it is because the file was accessed by DTube first?
Maybe because YouTube was on Chrome?

okay...

  • Round2

DTube on Firefox vs. YouTube on Firefox
I gave YouTube a head start.
But DTube still finished 50 sec before YouTube did.
It wasn't a significant difference, but still,
I am very impressed by DTube's performance.

I personally do not have any technical understanding
of how DTube uploading is different from that of YouTube.
If you do have some technical knowledge behind this,
please share with comments!

Thanks!
Sung

@sahci I have no technical background/knowledge on how dtube and youtube differ on uploading... that's why tried this experiment and asked at the end for anyone who might shed some light on this.. :)
I hope someone can answer!
