    I follow the directions for installing this mu file, and it doesnt seem to work when i try installing it to a third party host, eveyrtime i upload the zip file it says its to big to upload, and then i try to upload the unzipped folder, and it tells me to upload the files individually...doesnt make any sense when all the files need to be there under certain folders... HELP PLEASE?!?!?

    Extract the zip file on your local PC then using and FTP program (or something like WinSCP if you've got ssh file transfer) select ALL the files/folders inside the folder structure you've extracted and copy those files over to your web server.

    thats the thing, it wont let me upload all the files together, it wants me to individually upload every file.

    There support isn't much helpful, im not sure how i can do this on a third party host for free. im guessing the only way is to pay for the hosting.

    There are a lot of hosts out there, even ones you pay for, which don't really like you installing WPMU.
