PDF upload browser timeout
Firefox 3.0 is timing out while uploading a PDF. The PDF in question is only 10 pages (although it's 38mb for that), it doesn't seem like it should take this long. Any idea what the matter could be?
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?About 20 minutes before you posted your message I noticed network problems trying to access the site (~11:30-11:40pm PDT). I wonder if you were trying about then?
-
Inappropriate?Could be related. Will try again in a bit. -
Inappropriate?Hm, now it's not opening a file dialog when I click BROWSE.
-
Inappropriate?That one could be Flash related (we use Flash to monitor upload progress); you may need to restart your browser if that's in a bad state.
-
Inappropriate?Aaah... restarting the browser doesn't help, but I am using the Flashblock Firefox extension. It seems very possible that it's blocking the upload applet, although I didn't see anything to click to load it (which Flashblock is usually pretty good about displaying).
I'm currently uploading using IE7, it seems to be going okay in that.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?I'm experiencing the same problem. It only loads about 20% of my PDF. I'm running on Firefox 2.0. I have restarted the browser and even made a new magazine, but still experiencing time out.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Mine is timing out as well. I wonder if an FTP service will be available in the future? Could provide a way around this problem. My mag is only 30 MB, but it uploads forever.... then times out.
I’m hoping I'm able to publish with Magcloud sooner than later.

Inappropriate?Figured out how to get around the Firefox timeout problem.
If you run Linux Ubuntu, install Seamonkey internet browser from your add/remove programs under the Applications tab (if it's not coming up select 'All Opensource Programs' from the dropdown window, and look through the 'Internet' header's options).
A 56 page issue uploaded like a dream ( in less than 10 minutes with a cable connection and no timeout).
If you're running another OS, try installing a different browser to use for this issue until the Firefox glitch is resolved *_^
Shine on

I’m very excited I can go to sleep now ;D

Just FYI, the main uploader uses a Flash component, and a missing or incompatible version of Flash in the browser can sometimes cause problems. For that reason we have a link on the upload page to the "non-Flash version". The downside of the non-Flash version is the browser will not report upload progress, but if you are having trouble it can sometimes work around a problem.
