Ah, I do remember that! But does this mean you can't drive a progress  
bar? libURLSetStatusCallback sends a "bytes uploaded" number...

Some of the files are large, and as I understand, "put" has to load  
the whole file into memory, which could crash the app with a large

Even wait with messages?
