|

Any ideas why a website that accepts up to a 10meg upload would only take about one fourth of an 875K file? |

Not a clue, but they obviously are having problems...
If you gotta send big files, use upload-drive.com _________________ If it sounds good, it is good.

Well guess what Buckaroos! I found the problem. My browser is Firefox. Any guesses what the problem was. Tons of virtual cake for the winner.
(I r e a l l y dislikes me some computer stuff that begins with Micro)
Any ideas for a fix? |

Rob,
Once solution might be to use Internet Explorer? At least for this one circumstance. _________________ Be well,

Thanks Bob and all. Actually, I did use Explorer to load the file and it works fine there. Still need a fix to work with Firefox. |

Interesting b/c I have just started to have this problem, or a similar one. I thought it might be related to *shudder* vista, too. All of a sudden I can't upload audio or pics. _________________ 006 member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mic. Bonded by sound.

Are you using the browser to try to send stuff to a site via FTP?
If that's the case, then just use Windows Explorer instead (it's under Accessories). Just type in the FTP login string into the Address field of Windows Explorer exactly like you would in IE or Firefox, then have fun with drag'n'drop ease... _________________ Lou Zucaro

I finally used Explorer to upload the file and it plays fine using Explorer, but when I try to play it on Firefox, it only runs about 5 seconds. |
