This issue should now be relieved, and reports indicate

please notify us. It’s important that we make sure
this is resolved.
Currently you may experience slow upload speeds and/or failures errors in the uploading process under the following circumstances:
Uploading a file to the kurzweil3000.com Universal Library. This includes both the 'Upload' button and 'Computer' button.
Saving a file to the Universal Library through the installed Kurzweil 3000 Windows or Mac application.

Information:
There is currently an issue with upload speeds to the Universal Library getting bottlenecked. We are investigating this issue as a priority and will find a solution as soon as possible. We understand the importance of this issue and apologize for the inconvenience that this causes for you and your users.
Workaround:
As a temporary workaround to avoid the problem, you can conduct the following steps to achieve the result of a file being uploaded to your Universal Library:
Save/Upload the file or folder of files to your Google Drive or One Drive.
You can save a file to your Google Drive or One Drive through the installed Kurzweil 3000 desktop app, by clicking on File > Save to Google Drive or Save to One Drive.
You can also use whatever methods you normally take to save or upload files to your Google Drive or One Drive.
Log into kurzweil3000.com with your account.
On the Universal Library page, click the Google Drive or One Drive button (depending what you used).
If you haven't clicked the button before, you may be asked to sign in with your Google Drive or One Drive account through kurzweil3000.com if this is your first time.
Avoid entering other people's credentials to Google Drive or One Drive. If you're logged into a student's kurzweil3000.com account, avoid entering your personal Google Drive or One Drive credentials.
Browse to the location of the file in your Google Drive or One Drive, select that file and Open it.
This will open the file within kurzweil3000.com for viewing. Let the file load. By doing this, the file will automatically be saved to your recently_opened_local_files folder in your Universal Library.
Press the Back button in your web browser to view your Universal Library page.
In your Universal Library, drill down (browse) to your recently_opened_local_files folder under your account name. Find the file that you opened. You can then select that file and Move or Copy it elsewhere within the Universal Library.
