There's this: http://pdoru.from.ro/
... which is a file upload progress patch for PHP. The demo opens a popup
window that monitors the upload taking place in the first window.
Possibly this could be modified so the second window uses javascript to abort
the upload in the first window? Not sure. Not very nice, but the alternatives
are sparse.
