I have been asked on a number of occasions to use the following link to upload files that are causing issues:
http://streams.videolan.org/upload/
The problem is for everything, except the smallest files, I get told that the VLC version is incorrect. I have tried multiple variations and I still get the issue. Having to wait half an hour for a 200MB file to upload and then only get told at the end that there is a form error is a real pain. I have tried both from MacOS X and Windows, using Firefox and Safari.
Maybe changing where the version string is verified could help?
