[Tilesathome] Error when uploading tiles

[Brent Easton]

I have never been able to upload large tile sets without getting an error. The only way I could get this to work was to

a) set UploadChunkSize=5 in tilesAtHome.conf
b) set ZipHardLimit=6 in general.conf

This forces upload.pl to split large files into smaller chunks for upload. Setting the UploadChunkSize by itself should work, but doesn't. You have to remember to reset ZipHardLimit each time general.conf is updated.

Regards,
Brent.
