@Victor_Grigas: via a local upload, or via URL? Please follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and use the templates linked; thanks!

@Aklapper Sorry I thought I had specified, I am trying to replace the file via URL with this file
https://archive.org/details/who-will-be-the-wikimedian-of-the-year-2021
because the file upload limit to do it locally is 100MB, this file is around 332MB

@Victor_Grigas please see my explanation at T292954#7473355 about why these kinds of uploads are unlikely to succeed currently. I would suggest you download the file locally and upload it using UploadWizard or https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js
