Assembla Perforce wont submit a large number of files

Question

I have 1000+ files marked for add that I would like to submit using perforce. During the submit everything seems to work fine but after an hour or so into the submit, using the p4v client, I get an error saying "unable to connect to server...as user... try reconnecting"

This seems to happen every time I the p4v client to submit. Also tried using the commandline and get this message after a while into the submit saying "ssl send failed", "cannot find file specified WSAECONNABORT"

I suspect it has to do with SSL: I am currently hosting my perforce server on assembla.com as they wont give me the option to disable SSL. Is this an SSL problem?

How can I go about solving this? Pretty desperate and grateful for help.

I've tried the following to no avail:

• uninstalling and reinstalling
• downgrading p4v client versions,
• x86 and x64 bit versions of the p4v client
• Ethernet instead of WiFi

During the submit everything is fine:

After about an hour I get this error:

If I press the "close p4v" button, this pops up:

Since p4v is giving me all these errors, I try to submit vi commandline but still get error about an hour into the submit saying:

SOLVED IT! instead of trying to submit all the files marked for adds in one big chunk, I submitting it in small portions at a time like 300 or so instead of submitting all 1000+ files at a time.

so to recap the solution to this problem is submit in small portions instead of submitting them all at once.

I hope this helps anybody!
