Mocking a third party API is a very bad practice. However you can replace the mock with stub and raise the exception.

Here is an excellent article on monitoring : Monitoring and Maintaining Your Server

x-tmpl is a dead project. This episode would have been better without using that template language. I would rather use jQuery file upload plugin with HTML5 and CarrierWave to implement the multiple file uploads with progress bar.

This is difficult to grasp when we don't know the big picture. Diagrams are required to introduce the concepts before jumping into code. Also including specs with the code would be helpful.
