    Okay so I have a website that hosts images and files, I don't mind size the larger the better.

    Currently we max at 128MB, depending on the speed of the uploader PHP times out :mad:

    Has anyone seen the java uploaders like myspace has and flash uploaders? They show speed or progress bar, but I have a php script I have to use with it.

    Everythings uploaded compressed and dynamically served by php :)

    Anything you'd suggest to look into?

    Are you looking for just an upload script that uses java? And are you talking like in gmail, the progress bar when it loads? Or are you talking about when it shows "Here are people you may know" and it uses ajax. You say you have the upload script. You just need a script that shows the progress when uploading?

    I need a better way to upload files

    This is the current site for those interested

    http://filesend.it

    I like it works fine but I'd like to have a more functional uploader then the standard http POST, it can take 30 mins to upload a large file and no one knows the time it'll take.

    Also I think http post is slower then services like FTP, I can only upload to post @ 1mbps but I can upload at 2-3mbps through FTP.
