I'm thinking the same thing: for real large files, you really want to use an upload applet -- today, probably a simple Flash SWF. Something that can do upload resumes might be crucial, especially for large files over slow links, since as far as I know, plain HTTP doesn't support byte-range file uploads. Maybe it'd be cool to develop a very simple, skinnable and reusable file upload Flash widget. I should see how much the Flash dev. stuff costs -- it's about time I started getting into it. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
