You have to add 1 to 3 in order to get 4, and 1 is a third of 3, ie. 33%.

How much are 25% of 3? I'd say something like 1.25, not 1.0 ;)

Give him a break, he hadn't had his coffee. :)
Anyway I tried uploading a 3Meg file and it failed. So there probably is another
setting somewhere that needs changing.

So maybe the 'officially posted' limit should be 6MB--so that we can upload a
5MB file?? ;-P Then, of course, we will all be wondering why a 6MB file won't
post!

Unfortunately there is a maze of settings to negotiate: PHP's post limits,
the web news system post limits (which are in several places), and the NNTP
server's limits. I thought I got them all, but obviously not.
I've just re-started the NNTP server in case it did not reload the config
when I told it to. Could someone please try the post again via the web. If
that doesn't work, please try posting a 2mb or so file via NNTP and see if
that works? At least if it does it will tell me the problem is on the NNTP
or HTTP side.

I just tried to post a 3Meg file via my news reader which failed but the 2 Meg
file I posted via the web uploaded. At least the web interface said that it did
but it has not appeared after five minutes (about 22:00 Zulu)

The file that I posted last night via the web was there this morning. I
successfully uploaded a 5029 KB file via my newsreader but a 5579 KB file failed
to upload.
You can delete them when you want as they are only test renders.
I think that you've cracked it, Chris.

Or, if we use both decimal and binary prefixes
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefixes>):
1000 KB = 1 MB
but:
976.5625 KiB (kibibytes) = 0.9536... MiB (mebibytes)
