Small pages fine, anything substantial dies partway. This is the clearest throughput signal there is, and unlike the others it does not improve by waiting.
Why waiting does not help here
Latency problems clear because queues drain. A throughput problem is a ceiling, not a queue. If the narrowest relay in your path can only push a trickle, another ten minutes buys you a slightly larger trickle and nothing more. The fix is a different path.
What to do, in order
- Request a new circuit for the site and retry the upload from the start.
- If the second circuit is also thin, try a different mirror, which forces an entirely new path on both halves of the connection.
- Shrink what you are sending. A smaller image is not a workaround, it is the correct answer on a network with these constraints.
Before you retry an upload
Check whether the first attempt partially landed. Sending the same attachment three times because each looked stalled leaves a mess that somebody has to sort out, and on a dispute it looks worse than the original problem.
A realistic expectation
Onion services are not built for bulk transfer. Photographs sized for a phone gallery are large by this network standard. Resizing before upload turns a five minute gamble into a ten second certainty.
How to read the result
Fine. Slow is the normal state for anything sizeable here.
Confirmed thin path. Nothing wrong with the market or your account.
The far end is shedding large requests under load. Come back later rather than retrying.
Other latency signals
Long wait before anything appears
Time to first byte on an onion service includes six relays and a rendezvous. What is normal for a Nexus mirror and when the number stops being normal.
LatencyText lands fast, images crawl
Why listing photos on a Nexus mirror lag well behind the page text, what that says about your circuit, and when to stop waiting.
LatencyThe session freezes partway and then resumes
Pauses in the middle of a working Nexus session usually mean a relay dropped and the circuit is being rebuilt. Why waiting beats reloading.
