IMSLP Forums

I have been trying to upload a 10mb Piano Reduction for two pianos of Mahler's 5th symphony and it continually times out on both FF2 and IE7, I still wish to upload it and would like to work out how and if I am doing anything wrong.

There are indeed times when this happens (the host is horrid). I would love to see this piece on IMSLP however; and so if you have a way of getting the file to imslp@imslp.org (maybe split it in two?) I'm willing to upload it for you If you can't think of a way you can just e-mail me and I should be able to set something up.

Email sent (I used my mothers eMail, because it was 900kbs over gMail's limit...)

Thanks!

I haven't yet received it, probably due to some mail server weirdness on my part (the mail server seems to delay e-mails or something)... however, if you see a bounce back (error message) on the e-mail account you sent it from, please e-mail a plain text message (with no attachments) to me, and I'll set up a temporary FTP account so that you can upload there.

Apparently Bigpond doesn't allow over 10mbs... How can I break up the file into separate mvts?

If the file is a PDF file, you can split the file into multiple chunks (you can do it by movement if you want) using PDFtk ( http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ ). Basically, you can do something like:

pdftk input.pdf cat 1-20 output output.pdf

If you don't know how to use the command line, you can use WinRAR ( http://www.rarlab.com/ ) which will allow you to create multi-part RAR files (i.e. you can split the file into the size of your liking).

If both fails, maybe you can try MegaUpload ( http://megaupload.com/ ).

I tried to upload it again and it worked. Everything is done.

Great Nice addition.
