Requests to upload a file server-side. The process is described at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Server-side_upload.
Tag discussed and approved in T295231: Create tag for server-side upload requests.
Looks like you hit T393851 and the file uploaded successfully the normal way despite appearing to fail.
Closing as declined, as unfortunately the video2commons URL in the task description seems to no longer be available.

@PublicDomainFan08: Could you please answer the last comment? Thanks in advance!
Did you try uploading the file with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js or just rerunning video2commons? Usually it works the second time, and currently nobody is really processing server side uploads.
Merging this into the newly-filed task, as that one seems to also list this file.

Looks like the same as in T398391: Server side upload for CMBGAMER 2018 (which was opened through v2c) - I'm guessing the task layout may have been copied from there
Where though?
It's from C-SPAN
I note it came down as a 2.4G MP4 file...
There may be some different access and/or speed for those in the US or those outside...
Normally I'd just go to video2commons and insert the link, but for this video, it keeps saying error, so I opened a task for it here
Is there an easier way to download these than yt-dlp or similar?

FYI, Server-side upload queues are currently unmaintained, and requests are not guaranteed to be handled in a reasonable timeframe. It is possible that no-one will handle your request.
The general advice is to upload files using the Upload Wizard if you can, and to file a bug report if the Upload Wizard does not work for you.
To be fair, technically this task was for a Herald rule; but the video2commons URL update may have solved (or at least, helped with) the root cause behind my request — ie., v2c server-side-upload-requesters not being made aware that the queue is currently unmaintained.
Changes deployed. I guess this is fixed now, please reopen if not.
Re-closing, as those three URLs now no longer work for me either unfortunately
For one person, me, as I used the presence of that tag when creating this task to quickly estimate what proportion of server-side-upload requests came from v2c :P
Hmm, "task tracking"... who exactly cares and for which reason? :)
