I can't upload .zip files

1. What are you using to create the archive?
2. What browser are you using?
3. Do you have AdBlock (or an equivalent) installed?

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this so I also added some debug information to the error message. When you have a chance, without making any changes to your process, please try again and copy the error you get here.

Also, for what it's worth, I did reply to your email but, for some reason, your mail provider has our mail server blacklisted. I've contacted them to get it removed but that's why you didn't hear back from me.

That's weird. Why would it be blacklisted? Anyway, here's the answers:

1. I am using WinRAR. I've submitted zip archives made with it before, and they've been uploaded fine until recently.
2. I use Firefox. Again, I've been using Firefox exclusively for a while, and it's worked until recently.
3. I have AdBlock Plus installed. I know that ads are necessary for a site, but I needed it for one simple reason: ads were eating up my system processes and causing my computer to slow down and freeze. And, once again, I've had it installed for a long time and never affected uploading until recently.

I can try and disable AdBlock or use Internet Explorer (ugh) to upload.

UPDATE: Okay, here's the situation: disabling AdBlock doesn't help. However, it works if I upload through Internet Explorer. It appears to be a Firefox problem.
