I thought about this one too, it's a bit tricksy (as Gollum would say). It
involves keeping a size table for the files. Perhaps in a dictionary with
the full pathname as the key?

This might be a better solution. After a bit of research, I found that
ProFTPD doesn't log an upload until it is complete, so this could be of use.

Can't do this one - the hosting company insist on proftpd.
