It enables you to not increase memory usage because of one large upload. You can find demos and documentation on their github repo: https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload It hasn't made it into production yet but on our tests it works pretty well, IE11 has a few problems, but there is a fix for that which should make it into the next stable version. https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload/issues/906 Some more information about chunking and plupload: https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#wiki-when-to-use-chunking-and-when-not Greetings.
