I know it's been forever since Ive submitted a score, but when I tried tonight I got an error

Couldn't Unzip, whinge the bad stuff to Zwaxy...

It seems to be progressively worse.

In the past a little perseverance was necessary at times, but today I literally tried all day with no success.

Alternately got the messages:

1)

got something from that URL : length 60058 bytes

some kind of error with the zip file - couldn't unzip it
command: './exe/unzip -l jtc_usclssic_113_tgmame70 2> /dev/null'

2)

There was an error reading the recording from the address http://members.aol.com/snakewhipper/jtc ... mame70.zip

Please make sure the recording is available at that address and try again

3)

There has been an error processing this script. If you believe this is in error, please mail admin@ztnet.com with the url and any other related information.

Tried directly from my computer, from three different URL's, and from two different ISP's.

There have been some intermittent problems every now and again. Unfortunately, Zwaxy is away for the next week and a half, but he is aware of the Internal Server Error when using the normal upload page. He's been trying to sort it out with ZTNet.

Basically, it's all ZTNet's fault. Surprise, surprise.

Yeah CMP and Weehawk! I got the same thing, too. I can't even upload any inps with the stupid error which can't even unzip the zip file. I guess that I'll have to skip the WCC 3 tourney until Zwaxy fix that bloody error. Blame on Ztnet for their lousy service. Oh well!

From another location with a faster connection I was able to upload a few recordings directly from the computer.

Still completely unable to upload from home.

I only seem to be getting messages 2) and 3) today, though.

Also.....

Aren't people who can't upload going to be at a bit of a disadvantage in WCC3?

Moot issue for me since I stink at Blockout.

to all players : keep your best scores and upload it when uploading won't be broken anymore (I won't DQ any inp with the 24 hours rules)

If uploading is broken a long time, I could make round1 a little longer

I wonder why the script needs to unzip the file, when it just renames it....

Post by **mahlemiut** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 7:26 am

The script has to check that there is actually an INP file in the zip.

Obvious....

Thanks for the hint, Barry....

..and only 1 inp file.

Once I submitted a zip that had 2 and the submission was rejected stating the zip files are supposed to only have 1 inp file.

It doesn't mind if you have a readme and multiple screenshots in the archive though. I wish more PC players would put a small readme and at least a final screenshot in the archive.
