Hi,

Uploading a ~6MB zip archive using REST API from c# code fails with the following error:

 Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

The archive has ~61 files, the largest of them is 835KB image file. 

The same c# code works fine for smaller zip archives.
The larger zip archive mostly works when I upload through the Silervlight.live.com web interface. Mostly because, even there I get timed out some times.

Any one has similar issues.

I did try to set the time-out to a larger value (20,000,000) with no luck.
Any workaround ?

How long did the transfer last before you got the error? Our timeouts are reasonably large (15 minutes), so it should have worked if you could do 55Kbits/sec or so. Are you going through a web proxy server? Sometimes those get impatient.

Yes, indeed, this will be done shortly. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Victor, this is done now. Check out the updated section "Uploading an Application" of the page "Using the Silverlight Streaming Administration Site" on http://dev.live.com/silverlight/adminsite.aspx. Keep the feedback coming.

Now, that was fast!! Thanks.
