^_^ 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"
