Thanks for posting this.
I did a own Implementation of a Upload Controller.
Do you have issues when processing the last chunk before all other chunks are present on disk?
I try to incorporate your good ideas into my implementation.

There are times when the chunks do not combine. A new file is created, but the chunks (ending _0001, _0002, etc) are still in the directory. Also, the file some times will not open. For example, if the file is a .zip, WinZip errors saying the file is not valid.

I cannot find any rhyme or reason as to why things work properly some times and not others. I realize I have not given you a great deal of information, but that is all I have. Can you give ANY tips as to what may cause the combining and deleting of the chunks to fail?
