Hi!
Upload of small txt file is fine, but upload of bigger (arround 1M) runs forever.
If I disable JavaScript and bypass the Ajax animated upload, same results, the upload runs forever.
Same behavior on IE a FF.
I gets better. This happens on some workstations only, some others (like mine) are fine.
I'm obviously testing it with the very same user account and same file to upload. It is just the workstation what differs.
But hey, some time ago, it did not work on my workstation either. The scenario was the following:
1) it did work for the first try
2) 10mins later, same user_account/workstation/file/node and it hangs.
3) some days later, works perfectly for many files in a row (no way to reproduce)
Currently I have 2 key users with no ability to attach file by upload.
One of my leads is that my ISP had upgraded PHP from 4.3.10 to 4.4.2. It happened exactly by the time all these troubles started. I did not encounter such problem on my sites ever before.
Drupal 4.7.3, linux, ISP hosted site.
Your help or leads are much appreciated,

4.7.6
I am having some problems with uploading files myself with Drupal 4.7 on my host. I have figured out a way to do it successfully now : never use the 'Attach' button. I browse to the file, pick up the file, then submit the post. Then and only then, the file is uploaded (while the posting is saved) and it always works that way. I am the only one uploading files so I haven't looked further into this.
For security reasons, it would be a good idea for you to update to Drupal 4.7.6.

Now I get "Connection Terminated"
For a while I thought this could be it. Then FF showed this page: Connection Terminated, the server is temporarily anavailable, bla, bla, bla.
Apparently there is a problem with the server (Apache, PHP) setup. I do not believe it has something to do with Drupal.
When I was experiencing the problem 2 weeks ago, then the behavior was just like described here: http://drupal.org/node/62226#comment-118042 (In Firefox, I get the "progress bar" but nothing happens. In IE, I get an infinite loop of javascript errors. "An error occurred: Unspecified error.")
The weird thing is, that now it just hangs in both, IE and FF.
Do you have any hints?
Thanks a lot.
PS: update to Drupal 4.7.6? I know how correct you are. Must hire someone to help me out ;-)
Strange
I've been getting it to hang when I use the attach button as well. So I was just ignoring the button and previewing/submitting.
Then I realized that it works for normal users, non-admins. I have no idea why this would be happening. It doesn't work for admins, but it does for everybody else. If someone else can reproduce this behaviour, maybe we can track it down.
I'm using FF & Drupal 5.1 by the way.
Fixed
We disabled the devel module and then it worked. If you've got that enabled, try disabling it & see if it works for you.
Update Your Devel Module
I had the same issue with the devel module and the file upload module. I upgraded my version of the devel module and the problem was solved. Hope this helps someone else.
Updating devel worked for me
Updating devel worked for me too.
