I usually upload the file with a simple scp command first:

scp tclgrads-x.y.z.tgz you...@fr...:uploads

When you go the admin/file release page you will see the file listed under Step
2 and all you need to do is to check the box and click on the "add files"
button.

A few gotchas...


   1. Now, if you are updating a release that you just made, then before you
   import a new fle with the same name you need to delete the previous file
   already there. Scroll down, select the file, check the box "I'm sure" and
   click on the "delete file" button.
   2. Once you imported the files, scroll down and select the processor/file
   type for each file and click on "Update/Refresh" button. Do this one file
   at a time. If you make the selection for all files and click the update
   button, only the file next to that button will updated, all else will be
   lost.

As a matter of policy, I usually refresh files (meaning, keeping the same
version) if I realize a mistake before making an announcement on gradsusr,
or if it is just a documentation update (say in the README file). Otherwise,
any bug fix will bump at least the last digit in the version number.
Notice that every time you refresh a file the download count gets reset to
zero.
