YouTube telling me "Up Yours!"?

Hey there guys. I do not exactly know what the hell the problem is, but my internet is kind of on and off. It's sometimes slow, and other times it's just mind rapingly stupid slow and it seems there is nothing I can do about it. Anyways, I really need to get this 5min video up onto Youtube, but it just isn't getting up there. The file is just under 40MB and the Youtube uploader pauses, and then stops at 2 or 3% What's the deal? Here's what it says right now:
983040/40967533 bytes @ 49 kb/sec
Anyways, its getting to be really agitating. I then went to the local library and put the CD in the computers with the file and then I get a librarian coming over, takes the CD and tells me to leave, accusing me of trying to hack their network or something stupid like that, she wouldnt stop yelling at me for 10min straight. I wish I could be making this up... :|

Sooo.... Any idea as to what the fuck to do?!

Btw, here's an update on the upload.
983040/40967533 bytes @ 3 kb/sec

    YouTube is probably just being hammered like they always are. You probably can't get much more than about 50 kbps up anyway. So yeah, I'd say between them being busy, and residential upload speeds you should just be patient and maybe let the darn thing try to work overnight this evening.

    How about I try and upload at 3:00am this morning? Will that suffice?

    That might work... I dunno what time you dang YouTube kids go to bed now-a-days. Can you just set it up at like midnight and let the darn thing go? I mean, no need to stay up/get up at 3 AM to upload a video.

    Well, I tried to upload it to Putfile and google video but they both timed out... I guess I will have to wait...

    Youtube is especially slow today for some reason. I was checking out some crap today and i had to refresh almost every page to get them to load.
