I have problems uploading large BED files (>250 MB) to galaxy; both Safari and Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5.6 just hangs, waiting for a page response, even though the file has been sent (as per the Activity Monitor). I did try uploading the files to an web-server, and pasting the address into the URL/Text-field... same result.

Any help or tips would be appreciated..

Hi Johannes,

Currently, processing your upload after it completes happens in the foreground, which causes the perceived hang. We are working on a fix for this, but in the short term, if you continue to wait, the upload will eventually appear in your history pane.

If you receive a timeout in the center pane, you can check on the status of your upload by refreshing the history pane.
