A little frustrated at 123rf... I almost never upload to them due to low sales, but sometimes when I am away from my computer, I let it work - I run filezilla to upload a batch or two. Well, the frustration is due to the fact that I can't figure out if there's a problem with their ftp uploads or not... Almost all of my images of a batch of 50 or so got rejected, with no explanation - and no image icon showing up as well... no email notification nothing...
First, you have to click two hundred times to navigate to "process" my ftp'd images... and then, when I was doublechecking the uploaded images, many of them (in case of this batch) did not show an image icon... well, i just assumed that they'r processing the image part of it and went on to check for keywords and to save everything for review... and now it looks like there was an ftp issue because I don't believe that all of those forty or so rejected images are rejected - again, they are already up on all other sites and selling....
Anybody, ftp issues? Is it just me? Is it worth the time and frustration?

I have had this happen twice where 1 image out of 20 does not have an image icon. It will get a rejection with no reason. I am assuming the upload is corrupt (yet it would be nice if the rejection reason stated so).
I can understand a glitch every once in a while but 50 out of 50 rejected - YIKES! You should contact support. This does not sound normal.

Sounds like you are having FTP problems, alright.
Instead of FTP, you should try their Windows XP Publish Tool - it's faster than FTP because you don't have to go through that extra step of 'processing' your FTP uploaded files. Go here (http://submit.123rf.com/submit/123rfxpuploader-manual.pdf) to learn more about it.

Is it just me or their FTP is sloooooow ??? At least today, i can't upload anything faster than 3 or 4 Kb/s, where i normally have 35 kb/s on other sites. I'm also trying the web feature and seems it's just the same. Is this normal behavior or a temporary problem ?
