Monitoring large file upload

[edit]

Recently, I noticed some users are trying to upload movies, TV series, softwares and game file to Commons. They combined the rar files (compressed files of movies, tv series etc.) and JPG as a single JPG file with large file size. I nominated these files as far as I know. But the files are still uploading by other users. Is there any of tool that monitors large file upload? Or how should we handle the issues like this. Here are some of the files:

There may be more and I can't find all of them. Ninja✮Strikers «☎» 04:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ninjastrikers: See COM:AN#Influx of files with embedded data (CSD#F9) and abuse filters 160 and 162, as well as the discussion recently started at Commons talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#F9 criteria update about clarifying how to treat 'usable' images with embedded archives.
