Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 45	Dear reader, I have finished programming my study in Inquisit 4 and wanted to put the study online using Inquisit Web. However, during uploading of the files I encountered a problem. Apparently the total size of all the files may not exceed 40 MB. However, the total size of all my files is about 86,4 MB. I can do without 1 picture that I use on the informed consent page that I programmed, but I really need the other 1000 pictures and they all need to be 512px by 512px (and of course I really need the script as well). This is very important for the study. Is there a way to increase the maximum of the total size that Inquisit Web allows for? Kind regards, Lin

To do this, you must include the path / URL to your server where the images are hosted in the item definitions as in <item someitems> / 1 = "http://www.someserver.com/somedirectory/a.jpg" / 2 = "http://www.someserver.com/somedirectory/b.jpg" ... </item>

I assume it still downloads everything at the start, but my assumptions are not always correct :)
