When uploading multiple files, while the first is uploading, the next in line states "Waiting..." which indicates that it's waiting for the first file to finish before proceeding. In my tests, as soon as the current file finishes or is cancelled, the next file in line proceeds to upload. There were no errors or anything else to indicate an actual problem.
So the question I would be asking is, are simultaneous uploads supported? I've never known them to be, though I don't upload through the website all too often.
