You are trying to upload a file from your local computer to Amazon S3. This is s-l-o-w as hell. If you use anything over 1-2Mb part files you will get timeouts. And that's exactly what you get :) This is not a problem with live servers as their connection to Amazon's server is 5x-100x faster than the typical xDSL connection we're using in our homes and offices.

Solution: disable Amazon S3 uploads when working on a local host.

Ya...5am and can barely keep the eyes open. Backup ran great just now, so once this site is moved to the live host, my work is done.

Your products are the best mate. Thanks :)
