Unpredicatable - ness

Wasted a whole morning trying to work out why the Quicktime here (which worked fine yesterday) dropped the audio today when encoding from .flv to .ogg files. After hours of scouting about I then discovered that Archive.org accepts .flv files, its only  WikiMedia commons that do not allow upload of video files that use proprietary codecs. After that I prepared a .csv file with all the metadata, got the python script to upload it Archive.org from here's:

this worked quite well for one file, but trying to batch from terminal gave this error:

298 file(s) to upload in Landscape-Portrait
Sent 4096 bytes (0%)
500 Can't read entity body: Connection reset by peer

hopefully Jeff @ Archive might be able to help out.
