Any python or JS API at all to do this?
I think you either do not understand the concept of BT/FTP or that of widgets. If you want huge uploads then you need big upload bandwidth. BT is totally a no go here, as it's main source of speed is multiple download sources, as for FTP you can use it as a client, started by your webapp server but not directly in the browser unless you have something like fireFTP. On the widgets part this is only a UI component is not a full application, therefore your UI could be covered by a widget but not your system as a whole. Maybe if you could explain your use case we could suggest a solution, maybe your problem doesn't even needs a webUI ? after all how many times are you going to upload 100GB files to the server? have you though of the bill your service is going to send you? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
