Please upload this 1.9 GB 1000+ page PDF scan of a manuscript that will be used for proofreading and transcription (as part of a significant work not on Wikisource as of yet; see the Wikipedia article for "Theophrastus redivivus" for more info on the manuscript). I have taken all measures to carefully compress the file into this size (it was much, much larger before), and further compression would hurt transcription by my best judgment, as the text is in cursive Latin. The file and description txt: * File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3oMA7P6YNslY1pOY2RWZUZjekU * Description: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3oMA7P6YNslZVBDVWtJSE9MVXc * Username to use: Ithinkicahn Thank you very much! --Ithinkicahn

Thanks! Do you know how long it will take for the thumbnails to be generated, or until it will be viewable? It doesn't seem to be viewable at the moment, which I'm guessing is a processing delay.

That might cause issues/timeouts. There's numerous bugs around for these types of issues. Might be worth just giving it a couple of hours and see if they start appearing Individual pages at a couple of MB should be fine.
Thanks Sam. One last thing; while setting up the file, I noticed that I missed an error in the scanned pages, specifically the inclusion of 2 duplicate pages in the PDF. I've fixed the error on my side, so would it be alright if we replaced it with this fixed version? Last time, promise. :) File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3oMA7P6YNsleEJqSkxQQmhSXzA Very much appreciated

Hey guys, any reason why the file isn't loading yet? None of the pages are loading either; you can download the file, but none of the pages on the actual sites are loading.
Which file? The original at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Theophrastus_redivivus_%28Paris_manuscript%29.pdf ? Or the previews? Pretty sure that the previews trigger "out of memory".
According to paravoid, the file creates issues on swift.
File has been deleted due to size causing server issues. Doesn't need uploading again, it just be undeleted when the issues are resolved/worked around/prevented
Are there specific blockers that can be set on this bug?
Aaron, since you were debugging this yesterday, could you take a stab at answering TTO's question: (In reply to This, that and the other from comment #11) > Are there specific blockers that can be set on this bug?
Aaron, could you answer comment 12, please?
