Arthur Richards replies in Bug 34653 comment 12: This is bizarre and the behavior you note with File:Jr-NTR-As-Malabar-Gold-Brand-Ambassador-Stills-13_(1).jpg is inconsistent with the behavior for other files, like File:Wikiportal-Logo-Schweiz.svg (which seems to be logged correctly). I double checked the logging table in the database for commons. There are only three log records for File:Jr-NTR-As-Malabar-Gold-Brand-Ambassador-Stills-13_(1).jpg (rather than the expected 4). Rainer, have you seen this same bad behavior elsewhere on commons? That file was uploaded at 1950 (UTC) on 24 Feb, I suppose it's possible something was happening that prevented log data from getting written to the db (code deployment? db hiccup?) and this might be a one-off event not indicative of something wrong in code.
Given that the example was deleted... Any other known instances of this bug?
This issue is about the first upload which did not generate a log file. I suspect that the user aborted the download and then tried again. Changed bug summary.
If I find more such uploads, I will report them here. Thanks for your efforts.
I'm going to change the status from later to worksforme. Later implies we're waiting for some definable event, or plan to fix at some later time, where this is more we are waiting to see if it happens again.
