My main dig with using PHP[0] is that (AFAIK) there is no good way to
give the user some feedback in terms of percentage uploaded.

I would suggest that you look-into AJAX[1] and/or Flash8[2]. F8 now has
file upload capabilities - and both will allow for you to give the user
feedback, letting them know (among other things) how long they have to
wait. I am personally very impressed by F8, the example I give[2][3] is
pretty darn cool!
