Hi,
Could someone explain what is happening when large uploads have long breaks? My long term HABS upload (250,000 files) has had notable pauses, mostly around an hour, though this morning has seen a 4 hour break in uploading. I had thought that the upload has completed, but as soon as I started another tranche, it restarted (possibly a coincidence, though maybe it unlocked the scheduling for the job in some way).
It would be nice to know, as it might come up during the sessions at Wikimania and we would not want users to assume an upload had broken if all they were seeing was a scheduling "pause".
