Is it possible to transfer large djvu files (more than 100 mb) from Internet Archive to Commons?

Sure, you can upload files up to 2 GB with the standard upload interface. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Maximum_file_size

I have tried IA-upload and url2commons tool but not succeeded.

IA-upload has https://github.com/Tpt/ia-upload/issues/5 For other methods make sure to enter the correct URL, which must be like https://archive.org/download/bub_gb_D5a57FHN8-wC/bub_gb_D5a57FHN8-wC.djvu and not a /stream/* URL.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your response. I will make a list and let you know.

By the way, recently I noticed IA is not making djvu files for BUB uploads. If we are uploading files without using BUB, then IA is creating djvu and there is no problem then. Can this be fixed?

Thanks again, Bodhisattwa On Feb 27, 2016 3:46 AM, "Yann Forget" yannfo@gmail.com wrote:

Hi, Admins on Commons can upload files larger than 100 MB via upload-by-url. There is currently a timeout issue, so the limit is not a fixed figure. 200 MB files work fine most of the time. I even once managed once to upload a 300 MB file. If you need help, please give a list of files on my Commons talk page.

Hi Nemo,

Looks like they scrapped the DjVu and "Text PDF" format, I don't know whether intentionally. You should ask in their forum: https://archive.org/iathreads/post-new.php?forum=texts (be kind!).

Just saw this forum post in IA. It seems IA is going to stop creating djvu files soon. https://archive.org/post/1053214/djvu-files-for-new-uploads

Regards,

Very topic indeed... I'm continuing on the IA thread. As you can see, there are already some users with excess baggage from previous conversations who started being less than constructive; let's all be respectful there, after all we've (ab)used IA a lot for Wikisource purposes.

So we need to rewrite the BUB tool completely from scratch.

Well... running pdf2djvu and uploading the result is hardly a total rewrite, though it would be annoying.

I would also suggest uploading as many DJVU files as possible while they are still there.

Brewster explicitly said they aren't going to delete anything for now. I never discourage additional copies of files but personally I'm still trying to understand the situation better and I won't spread alarmism.
