I realized in my testing, that I cannot upload any map that is larger than 2MB. Even though it says the maximum is 5MB. I have been talking with a couple other people as well, and apparently I'm not the only one with the problem. Is this just the internet hating on me/us or is there an issue with uploading? I just thought I'd bring it up, since well.. It kinda sucks. :P |

I've had this with uploading .rar's too. I always had to make it somewhere around 1.6 to actually work. |

Yeah, in trying to uploaded .rar's including things that went above 2MB it would screw up and fail as well. I'm not sure EXACTLY the cutoff, but 1.6MB sounds about right. |

I couldn't upload my 3 mb map either. |

According to other posts made here at the site, it is WinXP that times out the uploading to VB with files over ~2 mb. You have to upload the file to another site, and then use the "Upload File from an URL" feature. |

you can split the file in 2 rars and tell an admin to update the attachment with a complete file |

Are there any known fixes to that? Or is the Upload from URL the only way? |

That is the only way. Blame Microsoft. |

It can't be only XP, I use Win2K and I also had this problem. |

... That would mean that all the people who uploaded something bigger than 2mb have win98; and I don't think that's the case. |

It is a limit on uluru's server, probably for security reasons, you can't upload more than 2~ MB by http protocol, and it would be lame to complain considering uluru is giving us free, unlimited hosting. Quote:

Hey, I wasn't the one to say that first, it was Tim. But nice to know what the real reason is anyways. |

Anyway, it's a servers fault. Http uploading is always a bitch, it has some security issues. |

How would you go about splitting a map into small pieces so that they can be uploaded? |

If you are using winrar, assing a size in bytes in the "split to volumes" section |
