Thanks Stephen for the suggestion. Yes I am going to use the FTP method in the future that's
better.

The upload queue is still blocked and I think I know what went wrong: I've uploaded
the package which appeared on mentors a couple of minutes later. After that I've uploaded a
slightly altered package, and while that one was in the upload queue I've accidentally
deleted the package through the account menu - I think now the 2nd package hangs in the upload
queue and probably blocks all future uploads of that, isn't that the case?
