Answer 2

This might be what you are looking for http://www.uploadify.com/

if not some more information would be helpful, are you using http or ftp upload for starters.

Answer 3

If you can't alter your server environment, use one of the Flash based uploading solutions like SWFUpload or Uploadify. (It's not possible to transmit files using pure Ajax as far as I know).

SWFUpload has a speed plugin that does exactly what you want, out of the box.
