Attaching attachments in Gmail

Recently, Gmail changed how one can attach an attachment in the mail.

Though, its a welcome change, allowing users to attach multiple files at a time and also see the progress of the same. But, I am facing this issue all the time - whenever I select a file(s) to be uploaded, the uploading invariably fails in the first attempt. And this is not restricted to a particular type of file like .doc or .pdf or something but is a uniform phenomena.

Is it only me or someone else encountered this? Though I have reported it to Gmail, I am not sure if its a specific problem or other users are also facing it!

  4. Is there anyway you can change gmail settings
    so that when you want to attach a large file
    (photo) etc that gmail will automatically
    downsize the file to a smaller one? My friend
    has Yahoo mail and it does it automatically.
