Uploading videos in general
The most reliable way to upload video to WeWhipAss is by using Google Chrome or Firefox 4 or higher as your browser. These browsers are consistently the most successful at uploading video. Additionally, the technology of Chrome and Firefox 4+ supports resumable uploading, so if your upload fails and you need to make another attempt, your progress will not be lost.
You should use a Chrome incognito window or Firefox Private Browse. This will temporarily exclude the use of browser extensions, which may interfere with communication between your computer and WWA. Ad-blocking extensions, for instance, are commonly responsible for these problems.
You should temporarily disable anti-spyware, anti-virus or similar software. These programmes are also known to interfere with communication.
Files smaller than 50MB have a very good chance of uploading successfully. However for files greater than 50MB the chances of successful upload decline with size down to about 40% for files that are about 100MB. The chance of uploading successfully are also very dependant on your connection speed and ISP provider so you may suffer worse odds than those quoted.
