On anything more than trivial amounts of data, I always but always get retries in JOSM (and before that was implemented, failures so I had to retry manually). It is so ubiquitous I thought this must be a widespread and well-known problem. It happens every time. I used to get so frustrated by the repeated 500 errors before the retry was implemented, and I assumed that had been implemented because it was such a widespread problem. (I also think there is some spurious DoS detection attempt going on somewhere between me and the server, but I've never been able to track it down. I actually think it is on my desktop computer, not my ISP, router or anywhere OSM end. Because the REST interface does large numbers of requests in a short time, I think someone thinks I am trying to do a DoS attack and blocks the upload. This isn't the same problem as retries - when this happens it locks me out of OSM altogether (even looking at the map) on that IP for 10 - 20 minutes.)
