My upload pauses on the website due to bad WiFi connection - will it resume? How can I resolve this?

My upload pauses on the website due to bad WiFi connection - will it resume? How can I resolve this?

Hi, I'm trying to upload a 450mb file to DB via the browser, however it gets to about 15% then "pauses" with the brown box saying "Upload paused - make sure your internet connection is stable".  Im travelling with access to some pretty rubbish public wifi, but really need to get this uploaded. Is there a way to un-apuse it, or does DB unpause automatically once the upload speed is good again? 

 

(FWIW Ive tried to log into the DB client but I keep getting sent in a loop where it asks me to log in via the web, which I do, then the webpage asked me to  launch the client, which I do, which asks me to log in via the web, etc etc etc. so Im assuming the public wifi is on some VPN that results in the login not working properly.)

Hey @Steamtronic, thanks for posting here! 

 

Is there another browser you can use as a way to test this? Does the upload still hang at 15% there? 

 

What about incognito mode? 

 

Feel free to send me a screenshot of the error you see, if you can. 

 

Ping me for more info.
