Joe,

what is the total size of all your 12 images? also when it fails please do the check for which server you are on when it happened so I can fix settings on that server. Instructions are right on post #5 above how to tell which server you are on. I'm trying to get each server to the proper setting to allow images of the sizes we would typically see here for all 12 at a time.

weasel33 - I would expect long upload times if the file sizes are large, your upload speeds are limited in any way, etc. most isp's have much faster downloads as opposed to uploading speed. For example I can download here at 12Mbps yet upload is just 1Mbps.
