I ended up having to upload one or two images at a time. I tried to upload the rest of the images but the progress stalled again. This process was error prone and I ended up selecting some images that were already in the set so when I uploaded the next group of images I ended up with some duplicates. I found that the images that did uploaded were arbitrary so I couldn't just go to a certain image in my collection and select all of the remaining items to upload, instead I had to go through the collection one image at a time and identify which ones were not already in my Flickr set. Then I started to compare the Flickr set with my collection in order to identify which images had not already uploaded. After waiting a little longer with no new progress made, I decided to cancel the upload. I logged onto Flickr and checked the new set that PSU had created and found it to have 25 images in it. At that point, it stalled and I waited for about 15 minutes before doing anything. I watched the progress bar move very slowly (which I expected since I was uploading a fair amount of data) until it got to just over 60%. My images were full size so they averaged about 6-7MB each. After selecting all images in the collection I used the share panel to start the upload. I mistakenly selected one or two raw versions, which I didn't catch until later in the process. All of the images in my collection were members of version sets so I went through and selected the version in each set that I wanted to upload. I spent some time entering descriptive text into the Headline field of each image before I attempted the upload. I am hoping that somebody else in this forum uses Flickr and can confirm for me whether the issues I had are unique to me or if this is always what I should expect when using PSU to upload to Flickr. It took a couple of hours just to upload one collection of 67 images into one set on my Flickr account. I'm not sure if the issues I encountered were attributable to Flickr, PSU, or something I did but it was a painful experience. Last night I spent several hours experimenting with using PSU to upload files to Flickr and it didn't go very well.
