The web server software, usually apache, generally has a timeout (default 5 mins I believe). After that time it will just ...stop... transmitting. Basically that means you won't get the confirm message. I don't know if it'll carry on in the background on all servers, lucky that it did for you.
Quarterbone,
As I said in the intro, I don't know how to debug this because I don't fully understand how web servers have their servers set up. It works on 3.6 and "compatible" hosts. They are, so far as I can work out, those which let you run exec() and have the tar executable installed. Cron jobs (etc) are planned for future versions.
