Request too large error on sub-500MiB sf2s

[stgiga]

Starting this summer, when trying to upload https://stgiga.itch.io/jummboxsoundfont in its 167MiB 7zip form (which is smaller than the archive at https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/2722) it doesn't go through, as such I've had to make the true home of the bank Itch.io (though the ability to donate optionally is helpful & the page is a better show-off) and put a link in the description.

Tyroland in 7z is also under 500MiB and fails too.

Considering that these recent updates are significant patch count and support boosts I feel like people downloading obsolete builds are missing out.

Most other SF2 makers experience this bug too.

I'll look into it. Files up to 500mb should be going through. Thanks for reporting.

I think the site is loading sluggish.

100MB (uncertain) Filesize Limit instead of 500...

[lfzawacki]

Update on this issue: the problem is that Cloudflare is enforcing a 100mb request limit. The solution will be to move away from Cloudflare and fix some stuff on the backend myself. I'm planning on fixing this by the end of the year when I have some time off from work.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Site is taking forever to load.

To be completely fair, I've ended up using Itch.io for hosting anything 1GiB or less (my JummBox SoundFont even having an optional donation button, which doesn't break CC-BY-SA4, especially given I've added attribution notices near the Download button AND section, and that CC-BY-NC exists and this isn't it, meaning that it can be used in formal songs AND I can accept donations, and even sell it as a hardware ROMpler chip, I just can't gate access to the file behind a paywall, and if it somehow became an Arcade pack in a DAW, it would likely need to be LMMS, Ardour, or other Linux DAWs, and it cannot be charged for, and any game, song, or other work the bank is used in legally HAS to have the attribution string in the credits, and a hardware synth would have to have a QR code in the box that points to the bank's page on a leaflet that explains what the QR does), and SourceForge and Archive.org for the gigantic stuff for ages, when fitting elsewhere wasn't possible.

Basically "the end of the year" works.

Well... there are REASONS I have multiple homes. Some of my banks when compressed can fit on Discord Nitro upload limits.

I don't know if SourceForge works in China. Otherwise, until MA gets fixed, sadly, your ONLY option is a VPN, unless I can get Wohlsoft to accept gigantic stuff.

Oh and one other thing: I don't think I can even set foot in China for reasons I was born with.

SourceForge and MA are usable in my location.

@lfzawacki please don't follow anyone's idea to remove anything non-libre, thank you very much. We aren't Trisquel (the name of a GPL-only distro)

I didn't say remove non-free artifacts, I mean correct license info by each artifact. Just mark as - Licensing Grey Area, or Various Licenses.

But Some of my projects are Trisquel-ish.

Could we switch to Anubis?

@lfzawacki has the 100MiB bug been fixed?

The above comment said filesize limit IS 100MB if using Cloudflare!

According the plan:

• Free/Pro is 100M, Business is 200M, and Enterprise is 500M by default. Over request limit will result in HTTP Error 413!

I found Anubis, which could give a try.
