Tell me how to do this with a bit of JS:
* Selecting multiple files at once in the file picker of your browsers 
choice
* Don't have to deal with page reloads, broken connections, 
max_upload_size and max_execution_time limits.
* Some nice addons (dozens of limitations for specific cases (e.g. only 
allow .t3x files in the EM) :)

... with just a little amount of overhead. (btw: SWFupload HAS a nice 
and automatic degredation to AJAX/JS).

Guys, I can also release it as a TER extension, but I don't see the 
reason why, just for the sake of arguing about cool features that TYPO3 
could have built-in ? ;-)

BTW: Check out the SWFUpload website with demos and documentation to see 
what is possible before bashing everything new.
