Well, yeah, but then you have to make sure all your max_size's are
bumped up etc (I assume) and that's one thing I wouldn't want to mess
with continuously. We just uploaded a 500 meg file for example.

That would be awesome. All it really needs to do is collect the
portions and then push it.

However there would need to be some way to tell the application (like
a PHP app) that the event happened, so it knows and it can store the
link/key/etc. to the file.
