Failed: Serialization: Buffer to Small for Compressed Data

I got that message about 2 seconds after attempting to upload my project. I was wondering if it was just a fault in my computers memory/internet connection, or something wrong with the website. Has anyone ever had this before?

Fixed it. I had to compress my images and sounds manually. I have the project up now, so if anyone wants to see it:

Yes, a few of my projects have had that problem.  My solution was to uncheck the "compress sounds and images" checkbox, then it would upload without error.  I have not been able to determine what causes the error; none of the projects were very large.

Yes I found the solution also by unchecking the compress sounds and images box. Im not sure why it happened either because that project had no sound and no high KB images.

Because the project was so small, it couldn't compress anymore.

Well, it was around 50 sprites and over 100 scripts, so Im guessing it wasn't to small. Also it should know to not compress any further.
