[bksvol-discuss] Re: Books I have for submission

If you can, I'd let it sit for a good 20-30 minutes. Also, try reading your window with your jaws cursor. Sometimes, I find that the submission is complete, and the sentence indicating the submission is there, but Jaws isn't reading things clearly, or at all.

The file only takes about 1 to 2 minutes to submit and then it just sits
there. I waited about 5 minutes this last time before closing things out.

Do you think I should just wait until the freeze is over. It is not like the
computer is frozen just the JAWS can't read the window. If I close that
window with alt/F4 I am back running.

Hey there,

I'm not sure what type of connection you are using, but when I submit my
scans, which are usually significantly smaller than 50 mb, it will still
generally take about 30-45 seconds to upload. How long do you wait before
you "try again"? Or do you close the web page after awhile. Even with a dsl
connection, upload speeds are much slower than download capacity.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a 50 meg file took upwards of ten to
fifteen minutes to upload to the site.

Hi E,

I'm not sure since I have uploaded larger files. This is 50 MG with
images.
IT is interesting since the guidelines say to upload in the original
format
incase recognition software improves in the future. I try attaching the
file
before I wrote last time and it sat there so I am guessing it is the
system.
I will let you know when I get it up:)

Try again. If you fail, you may have to save a copy without images and
upload in case the size chokes the system. What kind of system are we
using anyhow where it chokes like this. Folks send huge huge files over
the net all the time. What is going on with bookshare's upload that the
engineers cannot fix? While we are on the subject, since the site has not
changed or improved perceptably in the last six months, what are the
engineers doing anyhow?
