This Firefox add-on adds a new option to the Tools menu called “Uploads” that displays a small window, similar to the downloads, but displaying only current uploads in progress. The uploads are automatically removed from the window after they finish. The idea is to have a way to know the progress of your file uploads and an estimated remaining time to finish.

Useful for sites that does not shows the upload progress like youtube.

This is my first add-on, so if you find something wrong please let me know.
I’ve submitted it to AMO but since it takes time to get released to the general public, I’ve decided to put it here in our blog if you want to give it a try.

Download it here, enjoy!

Upload Progress with mod_python

Now that Gmail has added a progress bar for attachment uploads, everybody wants to do the same including myself
So, with the same method that everybody uses consisting in an upload form with a hidden <iframe> as target, and then a periodic Ajax request to update the progress, I made a simple implementation using mod_python on the server side… This is a veeery simple example, like everything that you do with Python.
Additionally I’ve added an upload size limit control based in examples that can be found in the mod_python forum site. Use the source Luke!
