Check upload file size before executing command
One big problem we have found with file uploads is that the program doesn't check file size against available free space before jumping right into an upload.

So for really big files, you might get halfway through an upload (15 minutes or more) before the browser craps out on you with a failure message of one kind or another (usually ERR_FREE_SPC, but we've seen other more generic errors).

If anyone has a hacked version of Commands.pm that does either a file size check against available free space, and/or a progress indicator, let me know. Otherwise I'm going to have to try to hack it myself...

Unless GT has any kind of release date scheduled for the next version. My client has basically invested about $650 in license and development costs for a product that they basically find useless since they deal with a lot of large uploads (video).

Thanks, john
