Hi folks,
this feature is now in production, so do check it out and let us know if it's broken:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard
If you select multiple files, it'll try to upload up to 3 at the same time, which should speed up your upload in many cases. Again, as Ian says, this feature is not to be confused with multi-file selection, which we'll definitely implement as well. :-)
Thanks to Ian and Neil for getting the new code out the door.

Yep,
its useless for me. It eats so much data in memory, that I will definitely stay with Commonist. It looks like browser uploading, which logicaly eats o lot of data, thus it seems to me useless. What about writing a feature, which will work more with core? Like integrating something like Commonist?

How did you determine that it was taking too much memory? What kinds of files did you try to upload and what happened?
At the moment, this is just standard uploading, and should not be taking up a lot of memory. It should take up more bandwidth, but that's kind of the point - to finish more uploads faster.
The only new-ish feature that might take up more memory is the in-browser preview, but that's the exact same library as Special:Upload, and there is a maximum size beyond which it won't try to make a preview. If necessary we can reduce that size. What browser and OS are you using?

Hi Neil,
I am ussing Windows Vista. I was uploding some jpg files which had from 3-10 mega. It was probably a problem of preview than, which nearly halted my computer. Firstly I tried FF 6.0 Beta, than I have tried Google Chrome 13.0.782.112. In Chrome it was worse. It was suprisingly taking more memory than in FF.
How did I determined that? I had been watching it in Windows Task Manager.
