what is the best way to build an upload widget that can handle large files

is there a great jquery plugin for this?

I'd really love to have a progress bar without having to depend on flash

would need to use php for the backend

I think what you're looking for is Uploadify.

Take a look at Plupload.

It needs one of Flash, Silverlight, Gears, BrowserPlus or HTML5 support... So it is still not "pure JS" (except perhaps for HTML5, but it isn't so much widespread - yet).
