Hi,

at GlobaLeaks.org we have been using the jQuery-File-Upload over Tor Hidden Services anonymous network http://torproject.org .

The Tor HS network can have:
- Unexpected disconnection during file transfer
- Failure in connection attempt (going in timeout)

That means that most upload done via jQuery-File-Upload fail due to it's inability to handle:
- Automatic Reconnection Attempt (if a connection timeout while connecting, retry automatically X times with a configurable Y connection timeout)
- Automatic Resume (if a connection die, automatically attempt to resume the upload)

We would like to see such kind of features implemented in jQuery-File-Upload and/or some direction on how to implement such kind of features.

This would make the jQuery-File-Upload resilient over bad network conditions, such as the one you may encounter into the Tor Darknet.
