Recruiting from The Tube

Post by Ishbalan » Thu Nov 27, 2008 8:15 am

I have a friend on YouTube who makes spectacular AMVs, but has been avoiding uploading to the Org because of technical issues.
I have not uploaded videos, so i cannot help her. Can any of you tell me what her problem is?

Here's the kicker: I've tried uploading my AMVs there tones of times, but the FTP server is always a butt and won't let me connect XD. I gave up trying to upload long ago but because of your message, I tried uploading several times tonight. No dice. I've asked a few friends about it, but they were of little help because they really don't use the Org to upload much anymore.

I've always wanted to get more involved with the org, but never really got a chance because my many tries with many FTP clients to upload the AMVs failed in epic proportions. However, I'll promise you that I'll keep trying (and try harder from now on) to figure out how to work the whole uploading process as well as navigate the site more.
This is the editor on YouTube that first introduced me to AMVs, so it is very important to me that she joins.

Is there any way for her to describe her process? If she has an account, she can post it here, or in the site help forum.

If she tried to upload to the Org recently, then it wouldn't work because uploading to the local servers is presently disabled. Only Direct and Indirect links to other FTP or file sharing sites will work until uploading is re-enabled.

Keep checking the Site Status thread to see when uploading will become available again.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. :(

If I put it on megaupload, where do I post the link to catalog it?

In Step 4 of Enter New Video, you can add a link there for Megaupload or any other off-site link you might have. If you have the video in the catalog already, use the Edit My Videos option and skip to Step 4 to enter the link.

I'd just like to note that I was unable to upload my first (only :wink: ) AMV for about a year before I figured out that PeerGuardian was blocking FTP connections. Try checking any factors you think could be causing you FTP problems, it could be something very simple.

I'm really sorry about all the upload problems, actually. :( Our video servers reached capacity about two weeks ago. We're looking to get a new server soon, but right now as a short term fix our sysadmin is trying to clear some space on the current servers by deleting all the "dead" files like incompleted uploads. We're going to have this done by tomorrow night, hopefully with no more delays. Thanks for your patience.

In the future, we might look into simplying the upload system so that it has an http interface.

Yea seriously that FTP server is a bitch to connect >.>. Took me a couple hours of trying until it finally connected on my first upload here.
