I *think* I had a similar problem months ago, Rejon increased a timeout 
limit and it was temporarily solved. But it was long ago so my memory is 
fuzzy.

BTW, ccHost allowed me today to upload even a 166KB file, but the other 
two seems to be too large.

Indeed, it looks like the error does not occur at upload but at some 
processing of the file.

The files are uploaded using HTTP and stored on the disk, MySQL is used 
for names and keywords.

In fact, the uploaded files before processing are in the root directory 
of "people": http://www.openclipart.org/people/

My two failed uploads are:

and there are a lot other, including from you, like
