Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my upload slow? What should I do?
A: Make sure that the preferences for Aspera Connect do not have any limits set on the bandwidth tab. If that does not increase upload speed, try adjusting the transfer speed via the transfer monitor. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aspera-shares/1.10?topic=tf-monitoring-transfers
Q: Why did my upload fail? What should I do?
A: Check your firewall permissions to confirm that your computer has access to upload assets through Aspera Connect. If you are still experiencing upload failures, please inform you Amazon MGM Studios Contact and reach out to IBM for assistance.
Q: I made a mistake on my upload and already marked it as complete, how do I redeliver the asset?
A: Reach out to your Amazon MGM Studios contact and request that they reject the work order. Once rejected, you will see that the “upload with Aspera Connect” button is now blue again and you can upload the correct asset.

A: Click on "Request Password Reset Email" on the Delivery Portal login page and you will receive an email to reset your password.
