Moonslayer made a guide for uploading - if you follow the instructions you should be fine:

And this should have gone in 'Site Help'. ^_~

can you be more specific?
what were you able to accomplish successfully?
where did it go wrong?

I've noticed that you've been having this problem for some time now.

If your willing to trust me with your account you could let me try doing it

Send me a private message if you want to do this.

Have you had any problems downloading other vids from the .org, or just this test?

Hmm. Sounds odd, but a bit more detail could help people help you...

If you use WS_FTP or some ftp client that tells you the *exact* number of bites in the file, you can compare the numbers to see if the file uploaded completely - then there's no need to test the download.

But it's curious - are you using a download accelerator when you try to download the file? Does the size of the 'test' vid match (approximately) the size of the file on your harddrive? If so then it's probably just a problem with the test upload link rather than a problem actually uploading the vid.

when i upload it, the test link says it has the EXACT same number of bytes as my video and that is the same number that i uploded, but it always comes out to be a broken link.
