Once you select a file to upload (step one), it begins streaming right away. I think this behavior will be unexpected for most users, since nearly all other upload forms require a user action to start uploading. Requiring a user action makes it possible to double check file choice. This could be especially important for large file uploads. Right now, if you've selected the wrong file, there's no obvious way to stop the process.

A possible solution might be changing the "0% uploaded" field in step 2 to a "start upload" button, or offer a clear "stop process" button.
