Well thanks for the help Valeman.
I was able to download Buck Bumble, clearing the cache worked.
You are correct about the size of my finished covers they are 8mb+
I do scan everything at 300 dpi. (I think that is your rule)
Photoshop gives me a similar option, so reduced the size, but they still will not upload. I am not getting a time-out. It looks like its uploading (there are a lot of bytes flying across space) but after a while, I get the 'page not found' screen on my Internet Explorer.
I may head into town tomorrow with my laptop and try using a high speed connection. They were supposed to have DSL available in our area in June, but just an empty promise so far.
After Al Gore invented the internet, he promised to get high speed to the rural areas... guess he got busy with other things.
P.S. what is the status of the manual project? I agree with you that the quality of the manuals available is pretty dismal... I am old and sometimes need the manual to figure out how to play the games. Plus, they are just nice to have.
EDIT to add: I tried to upload another, but this time I got an internal server error 500 - 'an internal server error has occured........'
