I was having this issue myself even with a fast and reliable connection (I mean, even fast and reliable is NOTHING compared to what I had in Holland, I'm really speaking about "relatively fast"). In the upload dialog I always have to choose the advanced properties to upload in batches of 10. This seems to have fixed this for me. I spent lots of time deleted duplicates, but I am sure I missed some. For double tags on Mosques, I just add that I tag the node and an area, the building, so it's double, yes, but, without an example I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to. Alex
