Hi,

Can you confirm if this is also happening with other similar sounds of yours? Maybe you can share the sound with me via private message and I do some tests?

Hi everyone,

We just realized that there are problems with filenames that have non-ascii characters. So those having problems please check that this is not your case. While we fix that, you'll need to upload files with non-ascii characters in the filenames. Then when describing the sounds you can re-add these characters as sound name.

Also we deployed some fixes for uploading large files, so hopefully that issue will be fixed (crossing fingers).

Cheers,

frederic

Congratulations to you and the other members of the team! Keep up the good work! We are with you !!!

Cheers, Renato

Frederic and team!

It works for me like it used to. The only thing I can change is that it’s all ascii. If you have ž, č, ć, and š in the title of your file, you will not be able to upload it.

Thanks to Frederick and everyone who helped with the troubleshooting. I'm already uploading a lot.

Cheers, Renato

Hi again,

FYI, upload will be failing again for a couple of hours most likely,

thanks for info frederick

Downloads still down, but I added some clear message in the upload/describe pages. Also, once uploads are back, the issue with non-ascii characters will be fixed so you'll be able to use them in filenames again.

Uploads up again!

Thank you, Frederic!

Had nothing but problems with FS of late. Squeak sounds and failed uploads. Getting very tired of it.

Uploading impossible for weeks now, anyone else experience this:

Oops something went wrong error Nginx 500

Tried Brave and Chrome browser, different laptops, cleared cookies but nothings works

I already requested technical support via contact form, got no answer thus far

My last 2 uploads have been ok except for a minor squeak here and there. I'm surprised you're having problems with over 1800 sounds. Let us know if you solve it.

I am still unable upload any sound for months now

I have been waiting 5 weeks for technical support to solve it, to no result

Seriously, if anyone could help that would be great..

Hi Duisterwho !

Well, it seems that your last sounds where uploaded on August 10th. Did yo do something special on this day ?
Maybe did you use another browser or computer ?

Regards,

Hi!

Hmm yes, tried various browsers and different laptops, but no success.

Just tried to upload again > same error on 2 laptops in different browsers

Various formats, various sizes, various names, nothing works...

Thanks for your help

Hey Duisterwho

I was handling your support ticket. I believe I replied the day after your request, my last message was on Friday.

It's actually not something i've heard of happening before, it's a strange bug which I suspect has something to do with the way the file is being encoded, and i've handed the ticket over to Frederic.Font the core developer of Freesound who's part of this forum thread. But he hasn't got round to it yet. I will nudge him.

I will reply through the support ticket for info on what you can do in the mean time.

Cheers,
Sam

Hey,
The only thing i could suggest is to try Firefox too, if not yet done.
Using this browser solved problems for some of my friends here, I know...
Hope it could help !

Hi friends !

I tried to upload some small WAV files this morning (around 4MB only per file) several times, but I always get the message "something went wrong".
Does anyone have the same issue ?

Have a nice day !

Kevin

indeed
upload is down. doesn't work.
message "something went wrong".

Hi,
One of our servers has been updated in a way that is causing these upload problems. We’ll fix it soon

Thanks for reporting!
