A:
APC is really the best (read: only) choice you're going to get without recompiling PHP and using unsupported third-party patches.
Have you considered using a client-side plugin to perform the upload status information? There's Plupload, for example, which will pick from a variety of plugins that the user may have.
Why are you "not allowed" APC?

Have you asked your web hosting provider about installing APC? Unless they're a know-nothing reseller, they should seriously consider installing APC for the bytecode caching alone...

yes I did, they denied to provide it, as we have the shared server.

Consider finding another host, or switching to a Virtual Private Server. VPSes are extremely affordable. At the minimum, I would suggest switching hosts. There are very few downsides to installing APC, and if they are unable to for technical reasons, you're in deep trouble anyway...

for me the best choice is SWFupload...
check this demo: http://demo.swfupload.org/v250beta3/formsdemo/index.php just fill the form attach a file and click send... you will see how progress bar are approaching.
you don't need any server side scripts, besides the one to handle incoming file.

A:
The best approach for uploading large files that I've seen yet is to use PLUpload. It supports file chunnking (using Flash, Gears, Silverlight or Browser Plus) which will also allow you to keep your PHP file upload limits set lower.
Plupload v1.2.3
Allows you to upload files using HTML5 Gears, Silverlight, Flash, BrowserPlus or normal forms, providing some unique features such as upload progress, image resizing and chunked uploads.
