How about sharing it around a bit so it can be tested and you can get comments, before uploading?

I know the folder i should upload the zip, but how do I do it in practice? Could someone give me specific instructions, please? I too have a nearly finished wad.

You can use any number of ftp programs (I usually use Cute ftp) but Internet explorer can do it for you.

Simply make sure that in internet options (under the advanced tab), you have "Enable folder view for FTP sites" checked. Then go to incoming and drag and drop your file. That worked for me last week.

I've released a WAD not so long ago, and I asked the same questions.
Here are the answers I got:

How to get in /newstuff?
Answer:
If you want to be reviewed in /newstuff you have to upload your WAD into the archives.

The FAQ (see the links at the top of the page) explains how to do it. (scroll down to the newstuff section)

When you open the ftp client (from the dos prompt) make sure you're connected to the web before you try to connect to the server, or it won't work. It may take a while to get onto the server, as there's only 200 slots.

So:
goto DOS and type:

ftp archives.3dgamers.com
anonymous
(put email here)
cd pub
cd idgames
cd incoming
bin
put (exe or zip file)
put (text file)
quit

This worked for me, hope it helps you.
