Hi Elan, You could do a simple estimate based on 'file size' / 'connection speed'. Thus, for a file of 1024 bytes (1Kb) you'll do something like 1024/42 if the connection is of 56Kbps. I used 42 since 56k is the downloading speed and uploading speed is approximately 75% of that. However, this would imply that you know the speed of the connection. Either the user enters it somewhere or you call some obscure Win32API that would return the connection type selected by the user in "Internet Options". Check the API Text Viewer or MSDN for more info.
A better test (and more reliable) would be to upload a small text file of 1kb to the target server as test and then deduce the upload speed. You could show that phase to the user as "calculating upload speed" for example.
