Archived File won't upload (PixelDrain)
submitted 2.1 years ago by playing23
I just signed up, so sorry if I'm not posting in the correct section. I just found PixelDrain, and it looks great and I would really like to use it, but 30 seconds after I start to upload a file it hangs. I've tried it a couple times and it does the exact same thing. The file I am trying to upload it about 2GB, below the upload limit. I am using Firefox on Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit. My computer is pretty slow but I have also uploaded the same file to a few similar sites just fine. I don't know what the problem is, but I am thinking it is on your side. Screenshot Thank you.

Thanks for checking out my website!
I'm having some trouble with cloudflare, they are not letting files bigger than 100 MB through. For now you can upload to http://direct.pixeldra.in/. Which is the same site, but it bypasses the cloudflare limitations. You will have to login again, because the session cookie is not shared between subdomains.
Also, I'm very sorry for responding way too late ;(. Voat doesn't notify me about new submissions, I will have to check more often.

Thanks for the link, I just uploaded a 4GB .zip file no problem!
However, I did notice another issue using Internet Explorer 11. After a file upload is complete, it does not display the file link Screenshot. It also doesn't appear in the upload history because of the eight file limit is has. For now, I have been using Firefox on Pixeldrain, and that seems to work.

I'll check the server logs to see what went wrong. Probably just a HTTP time-out though.
HTTP is not very well suited for large (1+ GB) file transfers and if too many packets drop during the transfer, or the server takes too long to respond it fails.
EDIT: There's a ClientAbortException in the logs from yesterday. The browser killed the connection before the server could respond.
EDIT 2: Ignore everything I just said :P. I just noticed in the screenshot that it does say that the file finished uploading. Could you check this page to see if it's there? http://direct.pixeldra.in/history
