I'm trying to upload a batch of ~35 photos to commons.  These were
taken earlier this month in Nagasaki, including some photos at the Atomic Bomb
Museum which normally does not allow photography.  I asked permission to take photographs, which I would be uploading for use in Wikipedia and other projects (under GFDL/CC).  While my Wikimania badge really isn't official,  I had it with me to help show them that my request was legitimate.  Without my badge, I highly doubt I would go ask for permission.  I know the topic of getting people credentials has been mentioned before.  
<br><br>I&#39;m now having trouble uploading the batch of images.&nbsp; I have another batch (~100 photos) from Hiroshima, including the museum there (they allow photography).&nbsp; In the past, I have used commonist. I was halfway uploading the batch with the tool, and my wireless broadband internet connection went out briefly.&nbsp; I would have to start over with commonist and hope my internet connection does not get dropped while uploading.&nbsp; I then looked for other options and saw Wikimedia commonplace.&nbsp; Downloaded it, spent time adding descriptions and information, using &quot;bulk edit&quot;.&nbsp; Hit upload, entered my user name and password, then submit.&nbsp; Commonplace then froze for a minute or so. Then, I got &quot;unhandled exception&quot; error (see below) and forced to quit.&nbsp; I tried these steps again, including with a small batch of just two images, with no luck.&nbsp; I submitted this to the Google bugs/issues page, but am a bit frustrated at the moment.&nbsp; As an experienced user, if I&#39;m having this much trouble, I can only
imagine a new user would just give up.&nbsp; Have others
experienced problems with the upload tools? <br><br>I have Flickr Uploader which works flawlessly, and allowed me to keep up with my pictures while I was traveling, uploading them within hours or a day of taking them.&nbsp; The commonplace interface looks cool and thought it would work like Flickr Uploader.&nbsp; Many of my pictures are on Flickr, but not at as high resolution, so FlickrLickr or Flickr upload bot won&#39;t work unless I re-upload to flickr.&nbsp; Now, I guess I will have to upload them one at a time to commons?&nbsp; what other options might I have besides uploading them individually?&nbsp; I could upload them to my own server.&nbsp; Could a bot then transfer them to Commons?&nbsp; Though, I like (with Flickr Uploader) to batch edit the descriptions and licensing information.&nbsp; Any other possibilities for batch uploads?
