Especially with video we need a feature to regularly upload bigger files.
Thanks to chunked uploads and CopyUploads we can upload files up to 1 GB if the
user is able to jump through some hoops (having Image Reviewer or GW Toolset
permissions, owning a server or having the ability to operate a bot).
But even for these experienced users there is no possibility to upload files
bigger than 1 GB, like these:

A fix for this situation - without having to file bugs every time and pray for
a developer that has time to deal with the uploads - could be to allow
asynchronous Copy Uploads. For some reason they are disabled and the feature is
described as "experimental" but wouldn't it be worth to activate and test it on
Wikimedia Commons?
