It would be nice to have a "form upload progress bar/display" that contains
Bytes Transferred, Total Bytes, Speed, Est. Time Remaining, etc (something kinda
like the downloads interface I guess).
I encounter this problem when trying to upload large files to my web-based
email. More times then not, I'll return to the tab and forget what I was in the
middle of, figure the site stalled and hit reload. The status bar’s loading
progress bar simply isn't enough (and seems to be based more on time then data
transferred/total data).
Reproducible: Always

For large files only ?

Just reading over bug 24197... this is basically the same/or a very similar
request. I don't believe I've seen the functionality implemented under bug
24197. And no, I'm not sure a new dialog would necessarily be the best solution.
The download dialog *sometimes* gets in my way as a user, but in general it is a
nice interface (certainly better then that “other” browser ;).
Basically I believe it would be nice to know how much data has been uploaded,
how much is left to upload and about how long it's going to take. Else as a
user, you run into the "barber pole"/"I think the browser has stalled" problems
described in bug 24197.
Maybe adding this information to the current Download Dialog (essentially making
it a Transfers Dialog) would be a good idea?! Else having this or similar
information displayed in the status bar might work?

Almost forgot... any implemented interface should have a startup pause (like the
Download Dialog does). That is, any upload transfer information should wait 'x'
seconds before displaying, so that any small uploads/form submissions are not
encumbered by any additional interface. So not necessarily an interface just for
large files, but for uploads that take more then 'x' seconds to complete.

Yea, but I still think the best location for it would be within the current
"download" dialog (making it a "transfers" dialog). I don't think the status bar
would/could be as verbose (and what happens when you go to another tab?), but
again, it would work.
