[ZendTo] New beta including file "chunking"

[Jules]

Do you have a reverse proxy server?
A network security appliance?
Using the free tier of service from Cloudflare?

If so, you have probably found that drop-offs above a certain fixed size 
always fail to upload to your ZendTo server.

Well, with the latest beta ZendTo can automatically break the upload 
into "chunks" that are small enough to get through your bottleneck. The 
end users won't notice any difference at all, except that they can now 
successfully drop-off files much bigger than they could before.

The maximum size of each chunk is set by a new preferences.php setting 
'uploadChunkSize', which should be set slightly less than the maximum 
limit imposed by your bottleneck. You will quickly find the biggest 
value that works for your site.

There is more information at https://zend.to/beta.php and in the 
comments just above the setting in preferences.php.
Just be sure to run /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade before looking for the new 
setting.

I would be enormously grateful if people could test this new feature and 
let me know if it works or not!

Cheers,

Jules
