 * This usually means that your PHP install’s temporary directory is not writeable.
   What is the reason for wanting to use this plugin – are normal uploads not working
   for some reason? What is that reason? This plugin can solve problems with upload
   size limits, but if you have a problem with all uploads in general due to an 
   inaccessible temporary directory, then that will be present when using this plugin
   too.
