Whole system seems to be a lot more responsive than before, especially for creating downloads, has there just been a major upgrade? For a while I was wondering if it was someone at the EU Commission demonstrating how they were going to force compliance with their new tax rules on overseas businesses.
Run into a problem though - if I upload new files, the system is trying to process them before the upload has finished, causing a failure. I've currently got two notices claiming corrupt files for ones that were only half-uploaded when the system tried to process them. Can we have a "try again" button in the warning message for cases like those - delete and re-upload is a massive and unnecessary waste of your bandwidth, plus for HD files takes forever.

I see they're corrupt and I'm not sure why your files stopped uploading, but UMD won't stop the upload process even if it tries to process the file prematurely (which I'm pretty sure it's not doing). They're actually still in your FTP, and you can probably try to resume them. I'll delete what's there.. can you try uploading one file again? I've restarted our FTP server just in case.

Everything bar the trailer was still in the process of uploading (and still are).
Will cancel, close and re-open ftp, and restart the uploads - will probably take six to eight hours or so to complete (two halves of an HD video, about 1.4 gig in total).

Failed again, and from the timing of the notifications, once again the system tried to process them while they were still uploading, notice was from less than an hour after upload started, when actual upload was going to take at least four hours at a minimum. It's also somehow split one of them in two, creating a mp4.1 version, which was not part of what was uploaded.

Glad to see the UMD is up again. As of right now (Friday 7:41 CST) response is still VERY slow compared to the usual. When I open a new forum topic it takes much longer for the topic and pictures to download to my computer.

Never an easy thing to deal with - thanks for all the hard work in keeping it on-line. Video upload problems seem to have cleared, is now behaving correctly. Major new all-PVC scene going up, hopefully for Midwinter release.
We are still very much under a "distributed denial of service" attack, and we and our host are dealing with it. Sorry for the slowness guys. Doing what I can.
