Database Uploading Problem?

[ecco]

Is the Download Database having issues today? I've been trying to upload an updated version of my map for a while and I've noticed after clicking the upload button and waiting for it to process it eventually leads me back to the download database forums and no new post... I tried editing my original download post and I've tried creating a new one with the new file version and same issue occurred.

Please advise.


In any case; I figured out a way around this:
here's the link for the updated version of my map; I uploaded the file to my personal website and was able to link it via the url to the database that way----So if ya like go check out the new version and enjoy.

How large is the file? The maximum file upload size is like 30MB I think, so if it is larger than that, that's why it wouldn't upload.

ah! no wonder; makes sense because I added extra sounds, a few models, buildcubes and an mp3 music track to the updated version-- then I realized I hadn't compressed my zip; once I did- it suddenly uploaded to the "myAperturelabs" site ( which must have the same file limit as TWP because at first it wasn't uploading there either ); I hadn't tried again with the TWP database as I had linked it to my website host server for the download which now "compressed" actually works out just fine... BUT thanks for the reply! -- because I didn't know what was causing the error and it may have messed me up for future uploads... not to mention I'll aim to keep file size below 30 mb from now on with my maps.
