^_^ If only PHP didn't suck in that area...
If anyone has looked into that area, they'll understand that PHP cannot do upload progress bars. PHP does the uploading on it's own without giving the script any access to the raw file streams to permit that kind of progress meter. The only way to create an upload progress bar is to use another language to do the actual uploading of the file. Most commonly people end up using a perl upload script to allow the progress meter.
Other than that, there is the option of flash. But you know what everyone things of proprietary software here.

Now that we've got uploads running on our new, beefier file servers, I've experimentally bumped the upload limit from 20 to 100 megabytes.
Nice!
An improvement suggestion to the UI when uploading large files: display a progress bar like rapidshare.com does, so that user can see "ah, it's still uploading and didnt fail"
