I think I misunderstood the original problem.

It should work. Something very similar works here (i.e. doing a 
series of "puts" in a repeat loop, and showing "progress" in the 
message box before each "put").

Any chance the timeout error is real (i.e unresponsive server)?

Do you send any messages in the doProgress or Err handlers, or do 
anything that might cause a wait (without messages)? Do the uploads 
work if you comment out those commands?

Which version of libUrl are you using? There was a problem in an 
earlier version where every second download would fail. But this was 
before the version in the 2.4.2 engine. You can get the latest 
version here:

All question, no answers. Sorry!
