    If you know that files appear in sequence (a single serial upload
    process, not multiple uploaders) you can augument this with a check
    that an additional file has started to upload, ergo the current file
    has finished. Of course, only you can decide if this might be relied upon.

    Hum, what about the last file in the sequence?

    I think polling file's size maybe a good indicator, as Ethan proposed.
