Thanks for your investigation! I can confirm that there is a problem  
with our server when the collection with all its required resources   
(91MB) is uploaded. We are working to resolve this issue which  
probably is related to the huge file size. So the same error will  
probably ocurre with "Muggles' Gude to Harry Potter" ;)

Let me explain what happens in behind the scenes.:
If users render a PDF, ODF or send a collection to pediapress - a zip- 
file with all needed resources (wikitext, templates, images) is  
created at first. This is either used to generate the exports or sent  
to pediapress.
The problem we encounter is with the upload of this zip-file - so this  
issue is unrelated to PDF generation.

BTW: pediapress uses a different PDF rendering technology which is  
more suitable for printed books - but slower.
