I'm noob to this, and I just started to upload AMVs...or try to.

I dl FileZilla as suggested from the site. I forwarded port 21 on my firewall router just for assurance and on Zonealarm as well. Started to upload my AMV Right off the bat of the install with the FTP URL, username, and password it gave me and not alter any pref. of the program. After like over several irritating hours, it finally went to 100%, but it didn't transfer and now the status shows "critical transfer error." and now whenever I try to upload it it says that status over and over again....help?

try reinstalling the program.

If you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser, I reccomend FireFTP, an extension for Firefox that acts as an FTP client.

Sounds good. What would the username be for managing an account in FireFTP?

the username and password depend on the server, not the software. So, the same you're using with FileZilla.

Ok I've tried uploading it onto FireFTp, it won't cuz it says that the file exceeds the MB limit. I tried FileZilaa again, but I keep getting the same error over and over again. I tried cancelling out my upload but a-m-v.org won't cancel it for me due to my reasoning...something must be wrong with either wut I'm doing or something else....does people here use firewall routers and regualr firewalls, and have a pain with them? I just wanna cancel the AMV now.

If it says "file exceeds the MB limit" that means the video you are trying to upload is too big.
I think the video file size limit is 100MB

yeah, while my AMV is like around 113 MB or something like that

You need to re-encode it and try to get it smaller
Be sure that your audio is compressed too.

If you haven't read these, I highly suggest you do.

Unless a video is really long (or higher than the usual 640 x 480 resolution), it should very rarely be over 100MB if properly encoded. Typically, the average AMV should have a much smaller filesize, on the neighborhood of 50MB or about 10MB per minute depending on the contents (very complex AMVs like effects or action videos will stray to the large sizes).

It needs to be under 100mb.

Other than that, you have to get special permission from the admin.
