dear all,

the wmf multimedia and operations teams have worked on several bugs that 
address this issue. i have summarised the bugs i know about in 
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65217.

as far as i understand it, it‘s time to test another large file upload. if you 
have a batch of jpgs, tiffs, pdfs, ogvs or any other accepted format over 50mb 
(this is an arbitrary nr, i have no idea where the threshold is at; earlier i 
mentioned 10mb), please feel free to:


1. test the upload, or a part of it, on beta: 
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:GWToolset

2. if all runs well, coordinate with #wikimedia-operations before running the 
batch on production, so that they can monitor its progress. i’m not sure how 
much lead time they will need, so i suggest giving them at least a day notice 
and then an hour right before you run the upload.


with kind regards,
dan
