Today I was seeing how the upload form of http://www.virustotal.com/ was 
showing the percentage of file uploaded. Seems AJAX or similar Web 2.0. 
IMHO viewing a measure of how we're slowly still sending it would be 
appreciated. Big files means a lot of time with a blank page being 
loaded (sending the post data).
