 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!
 * This particular error indicates that something with the file upload did not work.
   For example, your server might have blocked the file because it is too big or
   something like that, or the transmission from your browser to the server was 
   interrupted.
 * As a first alternative, please try uploading the file to your server via FTP 
   and then use the “URL” or “File on server” import sources for another attempt.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
