Upload resetting

[Gerathen]

I am uploading an AMV and it starts the upload and when it gets to about 7% it resets back to 0% and starts all over. It doesn't say the upload has failed and my internet is stable. Whats going on?

What is the filesize of the AMV? There is a limit of 150MB (300MB for donators) unless you request a bigger file upload. Generally the 150MB limit will suffice, though.
If you need to learn how to compress better, read this guide.

The file size is only 46.7MB but it does say in the status log at the top that it has reached the 150mb cap. I'm not sure why that is.

Try to cancel the upload request and make a new upload request, see if that helps.

huh, that worked, no problems afterwards. Not sure what was wrong there.

Thank you.
