I've created an uploader with progress bar using the formidable module, it's really easy to use and provides a lot of useful callbacks.
Have a look here:

Have u created Ajax file upload ?

I think using XHR (Ajax) to upload a file should work with formidable but uploading files using an XMLHttpRequest is only supported in HTML5 and is not supported by all browsers yet (especially IE)...

I tried using formidable but getting error please see this question stackoverflow.com/questions/5988727/ajax-file-upload-in-node-js

It looks very promising but lacks some HTML file presenting progress bars etc. Could you please provide one?

@Jacek Wojcik, the progress bar can be done on the client-side - today I would recommend you to stick with HTML5 file uploads whenever possible, just google it. As an alternative for backward-compatibility a library called plupload might be a good match.
due to the lack of an example file in valums ajax-uploader, I've just created one.
It catches up the XHR upload if possible, alternatively falling back to the old form-based method. All in conclusion to valums ajax-uploader.

Maybe Valums will accept the pull request some time and the sample file gets merged in the standard repository.
