How hard would it be to use the FTP protocol for uploads? A couple of browsers have support native... I'll look into that.

Edit: yeah, could probably be done with a java applet, possibly hidden. Not sure if it would get all the benefits you're looking for, but I do know the FTP protocol gives upload progress (at least).

For commodity uploading, FTP has firewall problems for too many people. Uploads need to be on port 80.

ftp is often blocked in corporate environments.
