Hi
Some of you may have noticed that uploads to the dev server often fail,
i.e. upload.pl just reports "Error uploading file".
This is mostly due to the added time needed on the server to import the
tiles into the database, so a drastically increased timeout is needed to
ensure upload.pl will not erroneously report an uploaded tileset as not
uploaded.

The constant re-trying of the uploads (that succeeded and upload.pl just
timed out too early) loads the database more than necessary and makes
the subsequent uploads even slower (because the import continues even if
the tile upload process is aborted, as long as the zip file got uploaded
and uncompressed correctly.

So if you are having this issue increase your timeout from 120 seconds
to something in the range of 900 seconds or even higher, especially if
you set your zipfile size to larger than the default.

Edit your upload.pl, line 122:
  my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive => 1, timeout => 900);
