Andrew, if all the uploads have the same problem it may be something in the text itself. Perhaps embedded codes, or unix vs dos line breaks, something like that. The streaming mode (Full Text) could be trying to display it as a single long line without line breaks, but exceeding a buffer so doesn't display. Do you have access to a unix box you could try running it through unix2dos (or dos2unix) to convert line breaks? These are just guesses, an admin will have to take a look probably.

As far as I know, there aren't any imbedded codes; however, I edit these documents on a nonstandard PDA and that's why the files come out in such long lines.

Line break codes are invisible.

Try this site

http://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/unix2dos.tr

Convert before uploading. See if that solves.

Thanks for the tip, I tried sending a txt file to the site and came up with a 500 server error, shoot.

Ok sorry site appears broken. How about converting to another format using this site:

http://document.online-convert.com/

Try any number of formats, such as text, html, pdf, doc -- then upload and see how Internet Archive displays.

Good idea, but I want to keep with the txt format.
