We haven't had any [already requested by Andre Klapper] input on chunked uploads yet. Until we put heavy artillery like client-side Java on the battlefield, let's wait for folks from Hong Kong to check out chunked method first. To users facing the issue and willing to test the feature: go to your settings on Commons, pick the Upload Wizard tub, and enable "Chunked uploads for files over 1MB in Upload Wizard". Then try to upload a large file and tell us how did it go. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
