File uploads failing

[MrScott]

Hello all,

Recently I've been trying to get some big files online for my website, but I've been having big problems uploading them.

Google pages fails, in firefox the little status wheel just spins forever but nothing is actually uploaded, in IE it instantly says 'failed'. Using file lodge and similar sites with browser upload systems, when I click 'upload' I get 'Connection reset' from firefox. Without fail.

My PC is behind a linux NAT / firewall box which is probably what's causing the problem, is there a port(s) I need to forward for it to work? Or does anyone know of anywhere i can host 40MB files for free that I can upload to using FTP?

Thanks.

Yeh it's uploading via a web page in IE or FF that's the problem. I thought it was just me because I was getting it from lots of different sites, but maybe it isn't after all.

Some sites I get the error from:

http://www.zupload.com/

http://www.ihud.com/

http://illhostit.com/

http://www.filebuffer.net/

The problem is I can't upload to these sites using FTP (unless I missed it somewhere), if I could I would prefer to anyway as that works fine. I might have a look through all the firefox settings later.
