Actually it is very possible with PHP through the use of temporary files, which is how 
this works. I have only tested the meter with IE and Mozilla (Firebird) on Windows 
with no problems. I will test on the Mac side but because its PHP performing the 
function, browsers should not matter. 

I have also read that an upload meter function was to be added to PHP 5 but was then 
dropped, I would love it if a PHP developer could offer some insight to these rumors. 
I know this is not the correct mailing list but maybe someone knows something. 

I've also added one more download on the site which gives an example php.ini file. 
I've tested the meter with a 160MB file on 128MB RAM 500Mhz K6 system. The download 
also includes sample HTML code. I'm working on adding CSS to customize the look a 
little more. 

Hope this will answer some questions.

Unless I'm missing something here this is incorrect. PHP does not bother
the client side except to send data, i.e. html/javascript/etc.

On another note:

A possible solution might be to load the popup page in an iframe instead
of popping a new window. afaik you can't open a window with plain html
without a manual click?
