File uploads can throw an error, especially if they are large files. There's a thread on Stack Overflow about this issue, but it is not very helpful.

We can try enforcing a size limit on images and/or inform them that the image will take a while to upload. This may not completely eliminate the errors, but it should reduce the occurrences.
