uploadseparate makes sure that if you have many uploads they are stored in different (sub)folders. This is important for speed because if you have more than 1000 files in a folder accessing the file system is a bottle neck. This does not affect the demo but it is good practice to use uploadseparate. It should have been the default option but it is not for backward compatibility.
