Spent the day uploading to the FTP again - depending on the size of the file, it would take between 20-45 minutes PER upload.  It looked like the FTP wasn't holding the files, so I had to call Lara again to troubleshoot, she said she'd get back to me about it.  When I spoke to David about it later, he said we'd better just go with a jumpdrive (just under 8Gs of data).  I picked up a jumpdrive on my way home and we're going to send it out tomorrow.  FINALLY!
