This blog has now been deprecated.
I think it would be best to start my new blog from scratch and not import the post from here. I will keep this blog online for archival and link backs.

Using BITS to Upload Files with .NET
"Although FTP is commonly used to transfer files over the Internet, it's somewhat unfriendly to firewalls, because of the various ports that need to be opened. A Microsoft solution you can use for Internet file transfer is the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, BITS for short. BITS runs in the background (hence its name) as a service and it transfers files over the browser ports (80, 443) using HTTP or HTTPS. In addition, BITS transfers are restartable, so if the transfer of a large file gets interrupted, it will resume where it left off."

By compiling Gnome Shell using the instructions in this post, all the packages the Gnome Shell script will download and compile will not replace any existing libraries and it will install in your home folder, so you don't have to worry about breaking stuff on your system (excluding here the build dependencies of course, which are usual packages from the Ubuntu repositories and will install just like any other package).
