Thin Slice Upload, a resumable file uploader has been released. It’s most noteworthy feature is the ability to upload very large files with sizes totalling several hundred gigabytes.

Thin Slice upload is compatible with PHP and Perl. Even if your php.ini settings allow only the default 2MB limit for file uploads, our applet can still transfer huge files for processing by your php script. It does not matter if you can tweak the settings in your php.ini file or not. You can still use Thin Slice with the included PHP script to over the limits of your web server or scripting engine.

How does Thin Slice Upload work? it uploads files one slice at a time. The incoming data is combined at the server into a single file. The slice upload process leaves the original file untouched and does not consume any temporary disk space on the client computer.

If the upload gets interrupted for whatever reason it can be resumed. The user also has the option to stop the upload while it’s in progress and restart it later at a more convenient time.
