We have such a nice little Flickr uploader tool, but we could probably make a clean separation between it and UploadWizard if we "just" built in generic support for third-party transfers, and then moved all of the Flickr-specific things into its own extension. I'll look into this sometime in one of my "fix everything in UploadWizard" binges, but right now it remains a wishlist item.
A good first step might be allowing upload from url from arbitrary urls (and enable the interface to special:upload) </non upload wizard rant>
(In reply to comment #1) > A good first step might be allowing upload from url from arbitrary urls I'm probably wrong, but isn't $wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload meant for that?

That's the setting the controls if the UI is present for upload by url. In the Wikimedia set up, upload by url is currently restricted to flickr, and only available via api. I think it would be good to allow it from arbitrary urls, and enable $wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload so that people can use it (otoh, the interface provided by $wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload is pretty horrid)
