Trying to upload

[Guest]

I'm in the midst of trying to upload a file, admittedly a large one. I get as far as step 3 in the upload process. I click on "I want to upload the file above," the the bar at the bottom of the page slowly fills with green but then it just sits there. When I put the pointer over the bar I get a spinning hourglass but that's it. Do I need to start over, wait overnight, or what? Thanks for any help.Don

Just wait. That period is while it is uploading your large file. Come back in and it should have moved on.--M

Thanks for the response. I've got cable and it usually doesn't take all that long to upload or download a file. I've tried twice now just letting it run and when I come back find the following error message on my screen: "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in/opt/webdocs/library/upload.php on line 39."The file I'm trying to upload is an edited TerraScene file of the island of Hawaii. Zipped it is 167,850KB. Is that my problem? It looks to be about the same size as the TS file for Puerto Rico. Is there some kind of size limit or is it likely to be something else? Thanks for your help.Don

Oops, how embarrassing. :-doh167MB is a *lot* of data. I have fixed the "maximum execution time" doozy, please try again.Regards,--M
