Uploading files is faster in Windows Internet Explorer 7
This article describes how Microsoft has improved the performance of the HTTP file upload algorithm in Windows Internet Explorer 7. Uploading files is faster in Internet Explorer 7.
Internet Explorer 7 improves the way that large files are uploaded when you use the HTTP file upload feature. In earlier versions of Internet Explorer, an upload operation may take a long time to finish when you upload a file that is larger than one megabyte. Internet Explorer 7 uses an improved algorithm to perform the upload operation of an HTTP POST request.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
