I've been watching the holding page http://ia600201.us.archive.org/share.php show me it's animated flash progress bar for those 30 minutes and the item has not even made it to the deriver yet. As far as I can tell the process is simply stuck, along with the progress bar.
I feel terribly sorry for anyone using this site for the first time... which I would assume is the reason for the stupid flash uploader in the first place... To attract new users who don't have the technical capability to use an FTP client.
If they can't figure out how to use a free FTP client they SURE WON'T figure out what's wrong with your site.
They'll just... go... away.

I stated: "Thirty minutes ago I uploaded ONE audio piece about 8 minutes long to Community Audio via the "New, Improved, Flash-based uploader"."
What WAS holding for a server fix was an edit I did to one of the Cabale News Service pages. The other item which was freshly uploaded had no server issues.
I DID however just try to make the first upload of the file I did wait an extroordinary length of time for "dark".
http://www.archive.org/details/SheepToTheSlaughter
But I don't have the permissions to make something I upload to the Community Audio uploads 'dark' so Archive staff is going to perhaps have to tend to that.
That occured because I got sick of waiting for the "Progress bar" which told me absolutely nothing about the progress of my file for at least 20 minutes, and then, for a while longer, an error page told me I could not process it any farther because the identifier was already taken (by me apparently) so I abandoned the identifier and reuploaded...
The orignal upload processed long after my second upload completed and was processed.
As I said: "I feel terribly sorry for anyone using this site for the first time... "

You did not choose a mediatype or collection and never checked the item in. That is why (1) You had already taken the identifier and (2) It seemed to take so long. You never completed the process.
You need to check in items uploaded through the ftp. The upload task took 7 seconds. From the task log:
[total task time: 7.0 seconds]
but you failed to check it in so it just sat waiting and is still waiting to be checked in.
The second time for SheeptotheslaughterAndIf you actually did use the http uploader. From the task log:
[task_id=75138852&identifier=SheeptotheslaughterAndIf&server=ia600607.us.archive.org&cmd=archive.php&args=delete_from_source%3D2%26comment%3Dhttp-uploader-v2.33156%26item_size%3D11088%26from_url
Please do not use the ftp uploader if you are not going to complete the checkin. It is intended for use only if your files are larger than 2GB.
