Any ideas why my uploads are stalling?

I have been uploading pictures and videos from the website for weeks with no problem. However, I checked the status of my recent upload and it has not moved in 12 hours.  I have 3.5% used of 1026GB...

    It wont pick up I'm afraid and sounds as if it has stalled.

    I strongly suggest installing Dropbox on the iMac, putting everything inside the 'Dropbox' folder and letting it sync to the other machine normally.

The upload gives me a message indicating that there is 6 minutes left to complete my upload and that there are 43 files left. However, 6 minutes has turned into an hour with nothing showing but the same message and a spinning sprocket(?) which seems to indicate that it is attempting to upload the remainder of the files. What should I do? I hope that my question is clear.
