Trouble making a large post

[Colorful Arty]

I'm ready to release SubLems, but for some reason, the site will not let me post it. Whenever I try, it spends about a minute or two processing, and then brings me to a new post page with everything empty. I think this is because my attachment size is too big (it is over 200 MB, due to the music which ARE in .ogg form). Is there anyway to post something that large?

Under the attach box it says "Restrictions: 4 per post, maximum total size 16384KB" aka 16 MB, so your file is much too big. You'll have to host it on a separate site. (Also I'd recommend allowing people to download a version with no music attached if its that big)

"the site" == Lemmingsforums? Most people upload their packs to a third-party server, and then post a link.

namida recommends to ship the music separately. Reasoning: When the levels update, people shouldn't have to re-download the entire music.

IchoTolot offers his pack in two variants: A zip archive containing both the levels and the music pack, recommended for the first download, and the standalone level pack, so people can update later. Icho explains how the music is really important for the mood, and aims for a perfect first experience.
