After testing many of the available upload managers, Mega File Hosting, Easy Uploader, euploader, xtrafile and others, I have found they all have trouble uploading larger files in a hosted environment where there are limitations on PHP settings and server configurations.
I am interested in developing a script similar to those mentioned but that overcomes the limitations of uploading large, 2gb+ files.
An upload system similar to that used in Upload.ThinFile.Com/Resume where the uploaded file is chopped into smaller files and reassembled on the server is desired. The file must work in shared hosting environments where upload restrictions or PHP limitations are applied.
Intergration with Paypal for automatic billing.
A CSS compliant skinning system with [tokens] for site and user information
An upload progress bar that includes time, time remaining, file size, and amount transferred.
A registered or subscribing user would be able to select files from their computer to upload to the server. They can enter email addresses or select from an Email Group and optionally enter a message. When the upload is complete the email addresses entered or all addresses in the email group would receive an email with a download link and the optional message from the user.
The file would remain on the server for a configurable amount of time based on User Group or User Account Settings

* These items are not needed for my plan for implementing the script but would provide functionality as a file storage system as well. Depending on cost these may be omitted.
