There is no need to go that far, try to google a bit about swfupload. In short, this is a flash & javascript component that give's you the ability to maintain the upload, get the current speed, get the current amount of uploaded data, etc. It is very simple and works like a charm on a dedi server. There are some issues on shared server sometimes, but even these things are not that much complicated and can be easily solved.
