Can you increase the limit of file size?

Hello!   I was working very hard on this project and when I tried to upload it it said, "File unable to upload file too big".  I was wondering if you could increase the size for bigger projects ?  big_smile

Yeah, HOMEMADE_INC (we) make really long animations called scratch movies and we may not be able to get it on the site because the file is too big.


PIE IS GOOD!

We also make big games. The current upload limit is only 10MB.

What do you think the file size limit should be? Remember that some people still use dial-up connections like AOL and others.

Re: Can you increase the limit of file size?

I find 10Mbyte to be a rather generous limit, but I usually do short sound clips or MIDI music, not long recordings.  I also tend not to use a lot of backgrounds, so my biggest game is only 1.4Mbytes (the Mastermind game), which has 2 detailed backgrounds.

I could probably reduce the size of it also, by using a small coverup sprite instead of a full background when revealing the correct answer.

I think the size should be at least 20Mbytes.

Andre,  I think you should be able to choose, 
like a little thing that says

If you use Dialup
               Highspeed , etc

And on-top of the project it should say "Recommeneded for Highspeed or dialup.
