It's indeed interesting that we don't lose many people with the tutorial and
release step, but the worst drop in my opinion is from "details" to
"thanks": if 9 % of those who went so far in the process get lost, we're
wasting a lot of people's time and something is really wrong. (Possibly with
the backend, or the usual problems with Internet Explorer.)
This is what I find most frustrating with UW. My uploads frequently
fail to complete *after* I press submit with all the details. This
generally happens with batch uploads (meaning, in many cases, I wasted
I *lot* of time putting in all those details). There is some issue
with publishing the details where a file stalls after it has been
published but before its publication is confirmed, and it only works
on three files at a time, so if this happens more than three times in
a large batch, none of the subsequent files get published. I've taken
to limiting my uploads to ~5 files at a time because of this, or in
some cases using the far more reliable Commonist for batch uploads.
(It's not an IE issue for me, although it may be a Linux issue.)
