I've recently been working what I considered to be a large scale FASTQ upload to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), from where it will be mirrored to the NCBS Short or Sequence Read Archive (SRA). Although the total size was "only" 37GB, this was about 3500 pairs of Illumina MiSeq FASTQ files - more than enough to make me worry about the job being interrupted and needing to resume without repeating uploads.
