I've checked my archiving software and made sure I have the latest versions so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Please can you try using the old uploader. It's linked to on the upload page.

I've tried to upload a file (1,2 GB) 5 times and it doesn't work. After the upload is complete the filesize is only 80 MB ... the second time 300 MB ... the third time it had 120 MB. What can i do?

Hi Guys,

 

I think I've found what the problem is / might be - whilst we fix it, there is a way you can make sure your upload works on the new uploader.

 

After your file is uploaded - and it says that it's at 100% - and you can move to the next step - just wait for a bit rather than continuing. For small files, just wait 30 seconds -for a file of 300MB I'd wait at least 5 minutes. For a large files 1GB or more, I'd wait 20 minutes. I know this is not ideal - and we'll get this sorted ASAP - for some reason the rebuilding/moving of the completed uploads is taking a very long time ( minutes instead of seconds ) - So when you move to the next page, it's moving partially rebuilt files, hence why they're getting corrupted.

 

As Dark0ne already said - you can also use the old uploader too.

This should now be fixed. We're going to make some more changes at a later date to do more checks on uploaded files incase this ever happens in the future.

 

Great that you fixed the up-loader, unfortunately now I cannot download any files.

If I am very quick and I manage to catch one of the download servers it may work but most of the time I am redirected to "http://www.nexusmods.com/games/?" and the game starts all over.

 

Edit: I tried with IE and Firefox, same issue with both browsers.

I am unable to test right now as my main computer is down with a dead Motherboard. I'm currently using an old laptop running Linux - which is barely able to run the forum site. :wallbash:

 

If you can get someone else to test - send your images to them and have them try to upload. That will help narrow it down some.

Okay, I'll try finding someone to give it a go. Would it have to be a forum/site moderator to test it out, or is anyone okay?


Sorry, I hit the wrong reply button Edited by ideaspy
