I have a bit of clients hosted offshore and seems a mix between high latency and IPS default chunk size was causing larger uploads to his -200 error.
The fix I found for this issue was to patch plupload options to 5mb instead of the default. This will also add in a retry so if one chunk fails it will retry that chunk instead of failing.
This is likely only needed when very specific environment conditions are met, but I needed it so maybe it will help you as well.

Explore Feeds 2.0
A smarter, more social way to experience your community
Explore Feeds reimagines how members discover and interact with content. Instead of forcing people to browse forums the “old way,” it delivers a personalized, living feed that feels familiar, engaging, and effortless.
Members choose what they care about.
Explore Feeds does the rest.
Want cars and design? That’s what shows up.
Only interested in writing or business? Your feed reflects it.

Everything happens where the content lives.
Built for engagement, not empty pages
Explore Feeds is now fully enabled for both guests and members by default. That means no empty feeds and no dead first impressions. You can confidently use it as your landing page, showing fresh, active content the moment someone arrives.

Fast • 6/day • Active 10 minutes ago
Be the first to reply
First topic
Recently active discussions
These subtle cues encourage participation and make active conversations impossible to miss.
Replies now display with newest at the top, keeping discussions current and reducing scrolling friction. “Show older replies” lets members dig deeper when they want to.
More than just forums
Explore Feeds now supports blogs and articles, allowing you to surface editorial content alongside forum discussions in one unified feed. Long-form writing, announcements, or community discussions, everything flows together naturally.
