That makes sense, and was kind of what I got here when I tested your  
script, except mine stuck at the "contacted" stage, but with time  
also ticking over.

Here's another solution which is closer to your original script, so  
you may feel more comfortable with it:

    libURLftpUpload compress(fData), myURLstring

   repeat until URLStatus(myURLstring) is in "uploaded,error,timeout"
      put URLStatus(myURLstring) && the long time
     wait for messages
   end repeat

The "wait for messages" line will allow background scripts to run.

Cheers
