There are 3rd party solutions that can do this. I have used this one before[^], years ago. It had the option of cancelling. It is for uploading only. Downloading is a client side event and the user can cancel.

You can't do this in ASP.NET because HTML does not support it. You'd need to use Flash or something.

There are 3rd party controls that will do that. It is possible without flash or something else.

Interesting. How is it possible to break a file in to many parts using only HTML and javascript ?

You'd have to read up on how the controls work.

Well, I downloaded the control and I intend to look, but I remain dubious, because file upload controls are very locked down for security reasons. But, I am going to look in to it, and find out if I was mistaken, and I'll link to this control in future if I was, because this gets asked a lot.
