The tool should be stable. It should save my upload session, should my internet connection drop or computer crash or even let me pause the uploading. My upload speed at home is not that fast, so it always takes a while and
<br><br>Also, with commonist, I know some or all of my files transferred but I don't see them anywhere on commons. Except three images somehow showed up. When I tried again overnight, it managed to transfer everything, but the tool needed to create gallery pages for me before the upload finalized. If it fails in this last step, my file transfer apparently is canceled and files lost. I really don't care about having a gallery of my images, but simply please let my images be transferred.
