I think long time uploads should be allowed. On slow network links, there are people that can download 10MB mailbox even for 30 minutes. TIP: Maybe user/admin can set time limit to 2 minutes, and CPU usage to 10 seconds. On unix platform there is a pretty good function called setrlimit() but it can limit CPU usage per process only, not per Apache request. But it should be possible to check every 'x' seconds user/system CPU usage with getrlimit() ... This would be even better anti-DOS feature, since some user php scripts with bugs could run at 100% CPU for (20 seconds max_execution_time is loo long for such scripts, and too short for others).
