# Limit concurrent file uploads

 * Hi,
 * I have a multiple file upload field and there are cases when 20-30 pictures are
   uploaded at the same time via AJAX. Is that possible to limit concurrent uploads(
   e.g. there are 20 files in the queue but only max 5 can be actively uploading)?
   30 file uploads eats up the user’s bandwidth making the site slow and useless
   and the server is also stressing out a bit.
 * Thank you very much!

 * Hi [@zellerb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zellerb/)
 * I hope you are doing well today.
 * By default, this is not possible and this will be outside the scope of support
   to provide such a thing. For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide
   the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here [https://jobs.wordpress.net/](https://jobs.wordpress.net/),
   if you need further advice about it, feel free to email `wpsupport@incsub.com`.

 * Hi again [@zellerb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zellerb/)
 * I spoke with our developers and as said above this is not possible and out of
   scope. You can follow our workaround from here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-upload-a-huge-file/#post-17892345](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-upload-a-huge-file/#post-17892345)
