[YouTube-API] youtube API slow upload speed

hi,

I've noticed there are some similar topics around discussing slow upload speed using the youtube API upload, but couldn't find any actual numbers. So I extended my uploading test application with some statistics output, and found out that I only manage to upload with about 4 MBit/s. Using the official .net API. I tried on three different internet connections (with 100 and even 1000 mbit/s internet connectivity), and it's always the same: 3.9 - 4.4 mbit/s upload speed, never any more. So that means if I tried to upload a HQ 1080p source file that's easily a couple gigabytes, the upload would take half a day or longer.

Can anyone else share the upload speeds they can manage using the youtube api upload method?

for reference, I'm simply using the direct upload like so:

                newVideo.YouTubeEntry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource(filename, "application/octet-stream");
                Video createdVideo = request.Upload(newVideo);
