I had the same problem. but it wordks okey now
should I assume that the sound I posted the other day didn't go through and try again
or
should I wait a bit longer?
I must admit I was surprised a few days ago to see the 'Additions in Last 48 hours' completely empty.

... the last time this happened the server had been hacked.
A few days ago I got Viagra-type spam email sent to the email address I only use for Freesound.
This is the first time I've had this happen to my Freesound-only email.
Coincidence ?
I do not show my email in Fs profile, neither the "public" one used to sign in blogs and registrations - but when Fs users ask for it I'll give it, until I'm sure enough one is not a spammer.

Neither do I.
I use(d) a disposable email for my Freesound.org registration.
Of the dozens of such disposable accounts I have, I only got spam via the one I exclusively use for communicating to/from Freesound.org, (I did not give this email to any Freesound users).
I only began getting this spam via the exclusive Freesound email address a few days ago, coinciding with the upload problem here.

NB: even if they are not a spammer their email account contacts list, with your email address, can be stolen by a spammer,
(via phishing , or a Trojan horse email "harvesting" their contacts list and sending them to the spammer).
No need to panic in advance 
A small -but essential- piece of software was accidentally erased on the server which made it so that WAV and AIF files were not being processed anymore.
Reinstalled the software, reprocessed the queue of files and we're rolling again.
