@markbuehl: That is one ginormous file. My guess is you will have continued problems. 2,000 pages is a lot but my guess is part of the problem is not the number of pages, but that you also have a lot of media stored within RW: video, audio, images. With something this large there are probably a few steps you need to take to get things back under control. But I’d suggest the first step would be to “warehouse” your media. This means to put all your media on your server directly, and then link to them within RW. One way to warehouse may be through the Repository stack (especially for images) or a traditional FTP app such as Transmit or Forklift. This long discussion has more details in places: > [@Warehousing Images - best way?](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/warehousing-images-best-way/5983/34): > > This is simple but it works for me… 1.) I use Yummy FTP with a Yummy FTP Alias. The Yummy Alias is a “droplet” that sits on your desktop (or anywhere you want.) Simply drop you image on the Yummy Alias and it uploads to your server to the folder you defined (ie: images, resources, etc). Thus, uploading an image is as easy as dropping it on an icon. 2.) As for the full path url I use a Keyboard Maestro macro. But this could be setup with any number of OSX utilities. I set a Hotkey to enter… In addition this PDF guide from Will Woodgate may be quite useful: > [@Free eBook - Warehousing in RapidWeaver](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/free-ebook-warehousing-in-rapidweaver/11677): > > A free Christmas gift that keeps on giving! File warehousing has been a hot-topic in recent years and I’m often asked questions about it. So I decided to put together a short(ish) eBook on the subject. [Direct Download (4.5MB)](https://themeflood.s3.amazonaws.com/ebooks/rapidweaver-file-warehousing.pdf) This guide talks about what warehousing is and how you could potentially benefit from utilising the technique in your projects. It shows you how to create a simple warehouse directory in your preferred FTP software and also discusses how to optimise files ready for use.
