But I would like to collaborate with deelkar tp get a proper feedback thing running where a clien could say every 2 h or so "i'm still working on it",or coul return it back to the server with a reason (API down, tileset too complex, etc). I have to admit that I have no clue how the client currently tells the server about errors.

Is the tile conversion still ongoing? Do you have an estimate of how 
long this will still be running? If it is still going to be for a little 
while, it might be a good idea to add a quick check in 
LegacyTileset.convert if there is already a newer tileset rendered 
instead of simply replacing it.
