I'm having the same issue except in a different way.
I went to deposite a Medicham and Gastrodon in seperate times to clone them to see if I can do it.
I deposite it and wait about 7 clock rotations and turn off the game.
It says "The file is corrupted...yada yada yada..." Just as all the cloning videos say. But when I go to check, the pokemon I deposited isn't there any more, and is still in it's origional spot...uncloned

Step 1
---------------
First, you must goto Jubilife City. In the city, report directly to the
Poke'Center(Red Roof). Go west from Poke'Center. You should be walking
through what looks somewhat like a alley. Continue walking left until you
see a building. Enter the building. As soon as you enter, you should see a
spinning globe on the left side of the building. Talk to the girl at the desk.
She will ask if you would like to connect to the
Global Trading Station. As you might have guessed. Select, "yes".
---------------
Step 2
---------------
After logging into the Global Trading Station. You should be logged into it's
main menu. You will see 3 options: Deposit Pokemon, Seek Pokemon,
and Exit. Select Deposit Pokemon. And since this is your first time
preforming this glitch, use a Pokemon that has no value of any kind.
Example: Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, Ect.
After you have selected your desired Pokemon, it will then ask
you what you want for it. You need to always select a Pokemon Lv. 100
or higher. And always choose a Pokemon that no one would
bother keeping. Pokemon from the Kanto region are alot more safer
to ask for.
Example: Pidgey, Ratata, Caterpie, Weedle, Ect.
To learn more about what Pokemon to choose in order to obtain
maximum security, Please refer to the article about:
"Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded".
---------------
Step 3
---------------
Now don't think its over yet. You only completed the "EASY" part of the
glitch.
Once you have deposited your Pokemon up for trade, you will find a
Loading Screen. It would say:
"Checking GTS's Status.....".
And if you look on the Right Side of that box. You will find a clock. As you
might have guessed, the clock is what resembles that your game is
loading. Well, this little clock here is the key to duplicating your
Pokemon succesfuly.
Alright now the objective here is to shut your DS off 1 clock tick before
the loading completes.
Yes it may sound easy, but its not! The loading time completes at
random times. So it doesn't always finish loading at the same time
it did last time. But if you don't want to find yourself in frustration trying
to complete the glitch. Then I would suggest what I call:
"The 8th Spin Method".
Ok lets get started. We are going to try "The 8th Spin Method" together.
As soon as you enter the Loading Screen, you will see the Clock Hand
rotating around clockwise. Always count 1 Rotation whenever the
Clock Hand reaches the top of the clock. NOT from where it first
started. You want your Clock to go around 8 Times.
On the 8th spin, SHUT YOUR DS OFF.
If your Clock doesn't go around 8 Rotations the first time.
Please Continue Reading. If it does,
and you have succesfuly turned your DS Off as soon as the Clock Hand
reached it's 8th Rotation, then jump over to Step 4.
You will be redirected to the main menu. The Menu should now read:
Summary, Seek Pokemon, and Exit.
Select the Summary.
You will see that your Pokemon is now Deposited in the
Global Trading Center.
Just hit the "A" Button and it will ask you if you want to Take
Back your Pokemon, or if you would like to leave it as is.
Select Take Back.
Your Pokemon should now be traded back to your Game.
Once you receive your Pokemon back. You have to attempt
"The 8th Rotation Method" again. Just keep trying to get it to
Rotate around 8 Times. You will get it eventually.
I have made a .Gif Animation for the Loading Clock. It is located here:
https://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5964/clockgifpw7.gif
If you just cannot get the clock to go around 8 Times, then please refer
to the article called:
"If your DS doesn't make it to the 8th spin".
---------------
Step 4
---------------
Once you have succesfuly completed "The 8th Spin Method"
turn your DS back on.
Select your Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Game.
Once you press start you will receive a error message:
"Your file has been corrupted. Previous file will be loaded".
Don't worry, this is normal. Your file is safe because of the
Double Saving Feature.
Enter the game like you normally would.
If you have completed the glitch correctly, you will see yourself
walking out of the GTS Door.
Talk to the girl at the counter again.
Connect to the Global Trading Station as you have in Step 1.
You are logging back in to check if you have completed the glitch succesfuly.
---------------
Step 5
---------------
When you reach the Global Station's Main Menu, you will have to go through
2 simple steps in determining whether the glitch was a success.
If done correctly, you should have 1 Pokemon in your Box/Party, and the
other Pokemon waiting in the Global Trading Station waiting for your to
retrieve it.
--(-Test-1-)
The first option in your menu should read: "Summary". If it does, retrieve
your Pokemon back into your game(You might wanna do this quickly, so
that others would'nt trade for it) by simply selecting "Summary".
Then hit the "A" Button and select "Take Back".
If it reads "Deposit" instead of "Summary". Then the glitch was a failure.
--(-Test-2-)
Once retrieving your Pokemon back from the Global Trading Station.
Log out to complete your final test in determining whether you have
completed the glitch succesfuly. After logging out of the
Global Trading Station. Look through your Party/Box to see if the
Pokemon you duplicated from is still there. If it is, you have succesfully
completed the duplication glitch!!
---------------
Step 6
---------------
This is the simplest yet most important step. Save!!
============================================================
( V ) If your DS doesn't make it to the 8th spin:
============================================================
Before Reading:
Try moving farther away from your Wi-Fi Connection.
This should slow the connection down, and would slow down your
Loading Time. This statedgy should help the Clock Hand go around to
Complete the 8th Rotation. If this doesn't help, then please read the
instructions below.
---------------
Step 1
---------------
Deposit a Pokemon that has no value. Example: Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, Ect.
---------------
Step 2
---------------
Once you deposit, you would find a message saying
"Checking GTS's Status....", Along with the loading clock.
---------------
Step 3
---------------
Count exactly how many spins it takes until the loading has completed.
Repeat this step and log how many diffrent results you've got.
Do it about 3-5 times.
---------------
Step 4
---------------
After completing your log. It should look something simliar to this:
1. 7.30
2. 7.15
3. 7.30
4. 7.45
5. 7.15
6. 7.30
In this case, 7.30(7 And A Half Rotations) occured the most amount of times.
So next time you attempt the glitch, you would shut it off at 7.25.
If you do not understand the concepts of the decimals. Then try to imagine
a real clock to get the idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------
============================================================
( VI ) Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded:
============================================================
Follow these 5 easy steps. And your Pokemon will be less likely to be traded.
---------------
Step 1
---------------
Never, I repeat, NEVER ask for a Legendary Pokemon. Why you ask?
If you had a Hacking Device, lets say in this case, Action Replay.
What Pokemon would you attempt to go after first? Legendaries!!
So if you ask for a Legendary Pokemon,
the chances of your Pokemon being traded during the process is very high!
---------------
Step 2
---------------
Choose a Pokemon that no one would have.
Example: Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, Ect.
---------------
Step 3
---------------
Selecting a Common Pokemon from the Kanto Region will help alot.
Since not everyone has completed they're National Poke'dex yet.
This helps because you can only seek for Pokemon that you've SEEN.
---------------
Step 4
---------------
Do not ask for a Pokemon level 9 and under. ALWAYS ask for level 100.
You may think that your Pokemon cannot be traded for a
Level 9 and under Sandlash, because its just impossible. Sorry to say,
but your wrong. Nothing is impossible for when it comes to Hacks.
Tests show that more people loose their Pokemon from asking for a
Level 9 and under, rather then a level 100.
And even if your Pokemon does get traded during the Process.
Think about it, what would you rather have? A level 9 and Under
Pokemon, or a level 100?
---------------
Step 5
---------------
To reduce the chances of your Pokemon being traded even more,
is by specifying your Gender. This will reduce your Pokemon from
being traded by 50%.
Step 1
---------------
First, you must goto Jubilife City. In the city, report directly to the
Poke'Center(Red Roof). Go west from Poke'Center. You should be walking

It will still come up with the blue message if you switch it off too soon.
Here's a tip that I use, and it should work about 8 out of 10 times you try it, but it only helps if you have wireless internet.
Go look at your router. You should see a light, above which says WAN (at least that's what it says on mine). This flashes every time your internet connection sends or recieves data. Refresh this pagem then go look. You should see it flashing. While you're using IM, it will be flashing.
The tip is to turn your DS off at a certain point. When you put your Pokémon into the GTS, when it asks you to confirm, go and stand by your router. Press yes, and the light will begin to flash, for about a second or so. It will blink a few times in the seconds that follow. When it begins to flash violently again, switch the DS off. When you go back in, your Pokémon should be there, and in your box/party.
The reason for this is, when it flashes the first time, it sends your Pokémon's data to the global server, essentially dupicating it's data. When it flashes the second time, it has to delete the data from your cart. But if you turn it off here, it can't delete the data, thus there are two of them.
I hope I've explained this clearly enough for you, Regi ;)

It's a Belkin 802.11g/2.4GHz.
Try refreshing your browser and find out which button flashes, or talk to some randomers on IM.

It should do. All routers have a light that flashes when data is sent/recieved, as far as I'm aware.

I cut off after 17.6 Seconds. Works fine.
You guys should get the latest Action Replay.
If you love pokemon like I do, and are serious about raising your pokemon the best way, and saving yourself days of time, then you should get it.

No method is dead-set to work, as all modems have different connection speeds. I kept track of an average to try and figure out when to turn off (Sad i know lol) and i found the 8th spin method is as close as you can get to a set time.
