i downloaded and tested my file upload on windows 10 and linux mint 18.3 which is ubuntu 16.04. if anyone else trys it please let everyone know if it works for you and what your builld enviroment is so it will help them decide. i see more and more nodes coming online upto date and want to thank everyone for helping. if your stuck and not updating you may need to kill your node and start to build a fresh chain and you would help everyone out also.
