 I've been having serious problems with the flash uploader... it just won't
 work.

 I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Ubuntu, with the Flash version that's
 currently on the multiverse repository (9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12.2), and
 so far, I've tried it on

 - a local installation of RC-1, running on XAMPP for Linux 1.6.6

 - a remote installation of the trunk

 - a remote installation of RC-2

 (both of the remote installations were running on PHP 5.2, on DreamHost)

 I checked permissions on the uploads folder (and even chmod 777) and tried
 using Opera 9, where I get the "normal" uploader, and it all worked fine,
 but when using the Flash uploader most of the times I just added the files
 and nothing happened, or my browser crashed when it got to the "Crunching"
 part.

 I tried adding the lines that @didocat posted
 [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6278#comment:2 here] to my .htaccess,
 but still nothing happened

 Even if no one could reproduce this, I think there should be an option to
 use the "normal" uploader, just as there is one to dis/able the visual
 editor

 I will be glad to contribute any more info if it's needed

 I previously reported this on the #6278 ticket, but I'm adding it here as
 a new one, as requested by lloydbudd, since it doesn't really include any
 of the conditions described on that ticket
