0 - You don't have enough bandwidth on your personal computer
UploadWirzard supports uploadbyurl, but it is only enabled for licenser and admins because upload by url is not 100% stable. GWToolset has bugs too.
3 - Before making massive uploads, people want to try it *with the real tool* (GLAMs too).
We have the betacluster (http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/) to test. It is a real clone. Per request (mailinglist/talkpage/mail) i can grant the gwtoolset right to trusted user without bureaucracy on the betacluster.
Regards,

We have changed from admin to cratmanegment for a good reason (GWT is powerful tool like botflag).
10 per XML sounds like nonsense. The user can use UploadWirzard...
Here are a few reasons why it makes sense and why the uploadWizard is not adapted in some cases: 0 - You don't have enough bandwidth on your personal computer 1 - You don't have the data on your computer 2 - You already have the metadata in a structured way 3 - Before making massive uploads, people want to try it *with the real tool* (GLAMs too).
But, you make a point, maybe 10 is too low or we should remove this kind of limit and just rely on the upload speed. Anyway, this was just a starter proposition.
