Confirming a direct link not working.

Post by SQ » Thu Feb 09, 2006 8:57 pm

Alright, so I've tried to add a direct link to the .org for one of my videos. It keeps saying the link is wrong. But I'm pretty sure it's not.

Now, I know in the past the .org had a thing with .wmv files, and it wouldn't let you link them(for some ungodly reason) I don't know if that's the case today, but it wouldn't matter, since the file I'm trying to link is an .avi file.

Now, this is a new host, so I'm sure there could be some mistake on my side, and thus, I leave you with two questions:

1.) Direct Link to my Escaflowne Video. Does the link work?

ANd 2.) If it does work, what are the possible reasons why the .org would be refusing it, and is there any way to fix it?

If it doesn't work, then.. Well... I'll be here later, because I'm still trying to figure out how this new host works(It's free and kind of confusing).

PS: The .org is loading slower and slower for me, and I am more frequently unable to connect to it more each day. I use Firefox, and it's just the .org, so I know it's not me. Is anyone else expierencing it, and does anyone know why it's like this? The .org used to be so fast. ;_;

Whatever the org uses to test the links just sucks.

I've tried various ftp and web servers in the past to put up direct links for my videos, and hardly any of them worked right.

Then why can't they put it back to the old method of link problem reporting and no confirmation? Because this is getting ridiculous.
