Hi, Since several weeks or months, upload for large files is essentially broken. It is now nearly impossible to upload a file larger than 100 MB. All file formats are affected (PDF, TIFF, videos, etc.). Upload even failed for a 77 MB TIFF file from Internet Archive. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T292954 for details. There has not been much feedback from developers. However this is a serious issue and needs an urgent fix. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Maximum_file_size#Maximum_upload_... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Maximum_file_size#%3E_100_MB
As consequence, a Server side upload was requested: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T292769 The task is waiting for 3 weeks without action for a routine task which should take only a very short time. I wonder if there are still developers alive...
Instead of fancy features development, WMF budget should be used on priority for maintaining the existing functionalities. Uploading large files used to work very well, so why has no effort been done to fix this bug?

Hi,
For what it's worth, we have found a regression today that when addressed, I expect will fix at least some of these issues. More in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275752

Following up, this was fixed on Oct. 29 and most large file uploads are working again. This will also be mentioned in next week's Tech News.
For those interested, an incident report is available at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-11-04_large_file_upload_timeouts.
