Would it be possible, on either end, to rate-limit the upload? I know from experience that I often don't upload large files simpy because my connection will be mostly unusable during the duration, which can be quite bothersome. Also, from the server standpoint, you might open yourself up to DoS attacks if you're not rate-limiting the upload in some form.
As far as the jQuery/UI portion goes though, some features I would think users would like would be: * multiple progress indicator styles (bar, %number, pie-chart, etc), and the ability to style said elements (color/font/background/etc.). I've avoided many implementations simply due to them not being customizable; there's nothing worse than having the same XYZ widget as every other site, and I've also avoided such things at times since they would clash with the current layout/design. Simple customization can go a long ways in versatility and flexibility. * a stand-alone version? (Google video uses a downloadable for uploading videos) Cheers!

hello, i'm in need of a good cross platform solution for file upload with progress indication. The usual problem is that php does not have, unless involving a cgi script, the capacity to know the exact state of the upload. So instead of using cgi, my idea is to use a flash file. So i've made a flash / php script that does that. Now, i would like to make it reusable, hence the idea to go towards a jquery plugin that could provide a more usable interface for file uploading via web page in a non obtrusive way. Before i start with the development, i would like to hear from you what would be the core features of such plugin so that you would find it useful in your own work. Here are my specs so far: - technologies: xhtml/ jquery / flash / php - method: replace input type="file" by a flash file via jquery if javascript AND flash is available, otherwise fall back to classic html upload. - flash file displays progress indicator - option to display result after upload - option to save file url to database - option to set the allowed filesize - option to set the allowed file types Any more ideas?
