BBH

but I guess this is better than being unable to upload anything period.

upload excuses include

unable to read from that location
or
not able to unzip file

have one inp to send in, not going to work on anymore

Uploading works for me after 2-3 attempts... Email notifications seem to be down though

Barry, there was a short period of time last night where I was trying to upload also and had little luck....but tried a handful of times 10-15 minutes later and it all went ok.

A few more tries this morning... 110 attempts. Nothing. Absolutely fucking pathetic.

tar...yes, I get that sometimes too...along with many others that have commented on that.

In short, just keep trying until it works. It's a ztnet issue, not a script issue and not your zip file issue.

I have gotten that several times then tried again and it goes through.

WTF

No way to upload....no email notification....not even a simple search is possible anymore !!!

Did anyone point it out to any of those ZTNet losers ?!?

Do Chris (Zwaxy) know about all this....?!
What about moving to a new server....?!

Sorry guys....but I'm really getting fed up !!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I´M CRAZY TO UPLOAD!! I need this!!! The marp site is blocked here in my job, so I can´t upload anymore. I have internet at home again, but, the regular form doesn´t work. Oh, how long we´ll wait, uh?

My last 3 uploads have worked first time, but no emails. Some uploads I have had to do a few times.

Come on people don't get too upset about the service levels of a FREE site.

If you want to PAY to use marp I'm sure a better system could be provided.

I'm very glad for what we have even if there are a few problems

You are one of the lucky few.

MARP is free. ZTNet is not.

I was glad for what we had...when we had something. Most of the last week I have been completely unable to upload from home. We are getting very close to the point of not having anything. If you can't understand that this is upsetting to people, I won't waste any more time trying to explain it to you.

MARP is free. ZTNet is not.

I think ZTNet host this site for free
