Unable to upload a single 15 MB file to TesNexus!

[LordPalpatine2020]

:0 It seems that today I'm unable to upload a single file that contains 17 of my lvl 1 character saves from TES-IV: Oblivion! And yes, I'm trying to upload it onto an emergency file page I created on TESNexus! Is this some kind of bug that's happening this hour or day today?

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I have tried more than 20 times during the last 18 hours to upload an approx. 60 meg optional file to this mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28977

 

I have tried in Firefox and Internet Explorer, I have tried in .7z and in .rar. Regardless what I do, the transmission will cut off , 'typically' after 20-25 % of the uploading process, although I once managed to upload more than 50 % of it.

 

I have uploaded fairly extensive files before without experiencing any difficulties.

I've just uploaded a 19mb test file without problem and I'm in the process of uploading a 200mb file now. I'll let you know how it goes!

 

Do you get an error message or is it just like the connection has dropped and the upload process stopped?

[Emma]

I just made a new try and again failed. The upload halts and after a certain amount of time I get kicked out, with the following message from firefox:

 

The connection was reset

 

 

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

 

 

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.

 

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

 

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

 

I have now tried more times than I can count, both with Internet Explorer and Firefox, always with the same result. As I have previously successfully uploaded rather big files here, I'm assuming something is not right. The file I'm trying to upload is approx 60 meg, and it's an optional file (not a main file, in case this matters)

 

I have java-script enabled and I'm allowing popup-boxes.

How long does it normally take to upload a file? Is it crazy slow (like an hour) or does it finish relatively quickly (like 10 mins)?

 

I've still got you on my MSN, Emma, so I'll message you sometime when we're both online and hopefully I'll be able to monitor your process as you do it. I've got a busy easter weekend however so if you'd like to get the file up then maybe the super sexy Buddah would be willing to help you upload it?

 

I see that others don't seem to be having this problem as they have uploaded large files OK today so it's another one of these "only happening to a few" problems :(

[Emma]

Actually, the last 4-5 tries I never got further than the first 441 kbs. Although yesterday I managed to upload more than 50 % of it once.

 

I can't recall how long it normally takes to upload a bigger file - I haven't uploaded anything of +50 meg since december. I don't think it was extremely slow, I'd say more like 10-20 minutes (probably more like 20 than 10)

 

I should be around most of the weekend, give me a shout when you have time. Or super sexy Buddah, if he has more time :).

 

I see that 157 megs of unofficial Oblivion patches have been uploaded recently, so it's great that others are more successful than I. Before, I couldn't see any bigger upload in the list, so I thought maybe this was a general problem.

Wooaaa!! I *finally* managed to upload my file. BUT... I tried in Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, I tried with cable broadband and wireless broadband, I tried on two computers. Probably more than 100 times all in all. Most of my efforts failed after less than 10 % of the file was uploaded, at some occations I managed to upload 74 % before the connection with Nexus broke down. It was with cable broadband, Firefox, on my husband's computer that we finally were successful. The file was 62 meg, so it wasn't huge. And I haven't experienced these kind of problems here before. If I'm 'one of the few unlucky' I still think there's something strange going on here, as i have been able to upload to you before without hitting any snags.
