Cannot Upload File to Avenue
I need to submit a zip file through the discussion forum. i've tried several times but it never uploads. the upload starts but around 30% it always stops and says "could not be uploaded". has anyone had this problem before? any advice or hints that may help in uploading?

Thanks

the zip file contains a .mp4 file. ive tried different computers, been trying since sunday... can't seem to figure out the problem. ive talked to the prof he recommend using a campus network. that's the only thing i haven't done yet (since im not near campus)

maybe it's the size of the mp4 there may be a file upload limit. And yea try campus their upload speed is faster too

Avenue has a rather small file size limit, 200 MB, if I remember correctly. If you are sending it to a specific person within the McMaster community, the regular e-mail system will accept a larger file.

maybe you could upload the zip file on a third party website such as mediafire and then post a link to that on the discussion boards?

i have emailed the project to the prof but he still wants it on avenue in a zip file or just the file on its own. i dont think he would accept the link. thanks for the suggestion though!
