Question about file size

I have been trying to upload a zip file of Alexander Campbell's periodical The Christian Baptist. The zip file is 4.2 MB. The server keeps refusing it. Is there a file size limit? I hate to break it up. If there is a file limit, should I just put it on the discussion board & point people to that?

Suggestions? Could it be something other than file size?

Until I find out whether or not I can upload the Christian Baptist (1823-1829) on the forums, you can get it at my PBB site: www.calhabig.com/PBB.htm.

It is listed under Alexander Campbell

My memory may be faulty but I think I had to divide a PBB zip file to stay within some (undocumented) limit.

Calvin,

I suspect it's not so much a size limit as a server timeout, but I've been wrong before. Either way, as MJ suggests you can zip it into size limited files.

I guess I have not a clue how to do that. It may just have to stay on my website.

Did anyone ever get an answer to this?

I finished Dorothy Day's docx; it works out to about 5meg and is refused. I've no intention of splitting it up. If anyone wants the zipfile for docx/cover I'll email for the time being.

Here are instructions how to create a new zip file as several parts when there's a maximum size limit (assumes you have WinZip):

If you don't have WinZip and don't want to pay for it, there's an open source utility called 7zip which can also do this:

And here's how to do it if you're on a Mac:

Hi Calvin

First of all many thanks for all your work on PBB's. It is very much appreciated & I mean that!

As a retired Baptist minister I was interested in the Christian Baptist you refer to in your post.

I must have missed this away back in 2009 & just discovered it during the past weekend.

I have tried to pick it up on your site using the address as given above but all I get is a 404 error.

Is it no longer there or are you still working on it for Logos 4/5? Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Gerald

I would like to see the PBB if it is for L4/L5. I do not have L3.

Thanks, Calvin.
