I just finished my compo entry, and it now takes up 50mb.
Problem is I can't upload a file like this because of my 4 hourly disconnect limit. (disconnects before I can finish uploading it, at '3kb' per second.)
I can reconnect straight after but the upload gets screwed... Is there any way to pause it or something?
I just got Core FTP Lite to see if I could somehow pause it, but I can't...Ive uploaded I think 4 different names already, and I can see they dont get deleted..
btw, im kinda new to all this uploading buisness.

I used to do this when i had Dial-up

Make a winrar archive, split into multiple files, upload the files to a host, ask someone to DL, recompile the files into 1 nice file and reupload.

Smart FTP can pause, don't know if you can disconnect while its paused though.

My dad's got broadband, but he uses mac (even has a g5 ), so I wouldn't have a clue on how to upload through that.
Thanks for fast replies

Seems like a bit of a hassle dragging my comp down to his workplace...
Thinking more like put it on CD and try uploading somehow.

Hi Nath,

Ask Richard Davey (email: rich@thegamecreators.com) for permission to split the zip / rar file into several smaller files.
