There is an interesting information in the second comment of this blog-post : Upload Progress Meter - Common issues and some answers : (quoting).
Try to organize your uploads via flash. Swfupload.org is the best solution. File will be uploaded by flash, and flash will take care about progress monitoring and it doesn't depend on server side.
It also allows to select multiple files in "Browse file" window.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
