Hi Irene, I think DSpace will do the right thing - since it's not in the format registry, it should serve it with the "application/octet-stream" which will let you download it instead of trying to open it in an application. So you shouldn't need to change anything. And this is true for any unsupported bistream format - the right thing is to let you download it (save it to disk). > That is the format that has been proposed to me. > Large image files: I find that the filesize limit of 512mB isn't going to > let me do a single-item bitstream addition.

But it's more likely that your browser timed out or your connection stalled rather than you ran into thr 1GB upload limit. > I'd love to know if there's a back-end way to add new bitstreams to existing > records.

Yes, there are several ways how to add whole items with bitstreams: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Importing+and+Exporting+Content+via+Packages Unfortunately, I don't think you can easily just add bitstreams to existing items. It's actually something I'll need to solve for myself, too. The easiest thing would probably be to export the item, then add the file to the package and add it to the XML, then re-import it.
