HTML5 resumable and chunked upload of large files (> 500MB)

Question

Is it possible to implement resumable and slice (chunked) upload for large sizefiles (>500MB) using HTML5 (BLOB API)?

I tried to use https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload. In documentation its said that is supports: Resumable uploads: Aborted uploads can be resumed with browsers supporting the Blob API. Chunked uploads: Large files can be uploaded in smaller chunks with browsers supporting the Blob API.

But it seems that it tries to load file in RAM and that even hangs my system. Did anyone come across such problem what were the solutions? Maybe HTML5 is inappropriate here?

Answer 1

Try one of these:

• Plupload
• fineuploader
• resumable

I think they all support chunking/slicing, and at least several of them support resuming. At least plupload and fineuploader have jQuery plugins.
