OK... I had been using chunks of 2000, but will make it smaller.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks

In JOSM when uploading go to advanced configuration or the advanced tab
and use upload data in chunks of objects.  Drop the chunk level down to
400 or 500 and it goes much smoother.

        Hi Dan,
        
        Your procedure sounds pretty similar to mine, and working around
        Kamloops likely is equivalent in terms of the kinds of features
        we see.  
        
        You probably do this as well, but before running the validator,
        I step around the edge of the import and connect streams,
        powerlines, and anything else that I think needs connecting.
        The auto-fix on duplicate nodes just seems to merge the nodes
        but doesn't combine the ways.  As you, I very rarely have found
        the need to import a road as previous GeoBase or other imports
        have already provided the same information. 
        
        I simplify some features as well (streams and some lake
        shorelines mostly) but I try to remember to simplify before
        merging the selection onto the OSM layer.  Simplifying later
        often gives the warning that you are deleting nodes outside the
        uploaded data area.  If I get a conflict, this is where it
        happens. 
        
        You do, however, seem to have much better luck than I have had
        on failed imports.  On 4 or 5 different occasions, an upload has
        hung (sometimes for hours) and a cancel has resulted in nodes
        only (no way information) being uploaded to the server.  This
        behavior is quite consistent.  The result is 6-8,000 isolated
        nodes blasted across the import block.  I've then had to
        download the area from OSM and manually remove each node.
        Rather frustrating.  I don't know the ins and outs of the OSM
        backend, but could you be picking up errors at that point?  JOSM
        never seems to "sort it out" for me.   :(
