How long will the Upload take?
FAQ Toc
It is difficult to answer this accurately because it depends on the size of your source file, the speed of your connection to the Internet and the stability of your connection to the Net at the time. This web-based method of file upload is slower than the traditional FTP method and may cause a script timeout error. In order to avoid this error, don't make your file any larger than say, 2Mb. If the file is a large file, split it into a number of smaller files.
