In August I started building a website dedicated to music, games and past fassions of the 1970’s and 1980’s. For five months, I uploaded everything using WS FTM LE Version 5.06. Every upload went fine. I update the website every two weeks. At Christmas I introduced a radio station section to the website and this is where the problems began.
I record a one hour program every week and upload it onto the website. I first record the program in wav format using Sound Forge 4.5. When finished, I change it into Real Player Audio format which brings the file size down to about 10 – 15 megs. I then upload the program onto my lycos site which has a 50 meg limit. I’ve used about 15-20 megs. FOR SOME REASON DURING UPLOAD, THE FILE DROPS OUT AROUND SEVEN TO EIGHT MEGS AND REFUSES TO GO ANY FURTHER. It’s nothing to do with my internet connection as I am still connected at the time of drop out.
I believe it has something to do with a time out fault in explorer. (I could be wrong). I have been unable to find any info anywhere on the internet in resolving this problem. Are they any changes I need to do to my windows configs? Is this just a limitation I have with my slowwww 56K modem? It takes me about 25-30 minutes to upload 8 megs. About the time when it cuts out.
As I was typing this thread. WS FTP was just sitting idle and still dropped out. I've concluded that whatever activity I'm doing, I seem to have an 30-35 minute window to upload before I get cut off. Strangely I'm still connected to the internet. I tried using Real Players upload facility but was haunted by the same result.
Any help would be much appreciated.
