Has anyone here ever used the "Bulk uploader" in Photobucket, and is it worth messing with.

Great tool indeed! If you do not have a bullet proof connection do not bother. Anything less than a hefty dsl line, cable connection or fiber optics its not worth your time; unless you have lots of it to waste...

Just for Info......I've got what they call Turbo Road Runner Cable set-up......I can download a 100 pictures in about 1 - 2 minutes.......Pretty Cool

I got regular Road Runner. Think I will be OK with that ?
I think there slowing it down too , just to intise you into getting Turbo. It sure seems like it was faster when I first got rr. Who knows.

Ken is right...regular RoadRunner will work great...



If you have a photobucket "pro" account (the one that you pay for)...you can use FTP (file transfer protocol) to upload LOTS of pics really fast

Uploading with FTP
Overview: The following tutorial is a step by step guide on how to use FTP with Windows Explorer to upload content to your Photobucket account.

Requirements: You must be a Pro Photobucket account holder. This tutorial is based on using Windows and Explorer ('Explorer' is built into the Windows operating system, this is NOT 'Internet Explorer'). Pro users on a Mac system can download 'Cyberduck' FTP here

Note: The display size or file size settings in the 'Uploading Options' of your Photobucket account will affect the size of images uploaded with FTP. You may want to review the current image size options set in your Photobucket account Upload Panel prior to uploading with FTP. To make any 'Uploading Options' changes permanent, you must upload at least one image directly from the Upload Panel section of your Photobucket account.


Note: Video files cannot currently be uploaded into your Photobucket account using FTP.

Steps to Take:
Open 'My Computer' from your Windows 'start' menu or desktop. You can also open any folder on your desktop that you have created.

Paste the following URL into the 'Address' field of the Explorer window:
ftp://username[email protected]


Note: Make sure you replace 'username' with YOUR Photobucket username, and 'password' with YOUR Photobucket password.


Open up another window and locate an image (or images) on your computer that you would like to upload. Simply 'drag and drop' this file (or files) into the FTP window.
Note: Supported image file types are jpg, gif, png, bmp (bmp will convert to jpg on upload) and swf files. SWF files can currently only be uploaded as an image if you are a PRO user. Please make sure your filenames do not include any special characters, i.e. ',"$!&. Please make sure any sub albums that are created via FTP do not contain any special characters as well.


Your files should now be visible in the FTP window.
Note: The files with a 'th_' in the name represent the thumbnail images in your account.


Open up a new browser window and log into your Photobucket account. Your images will now be available for sharing and linking!
