If 2 users try to upload the same file at the same time, what happens? I
suppose a race condition develops, but are the servers smart enought to
return an error to 1 or both users?

Try it an see !

On a *i|ux box, it will probably be a race, on a windows box, one will
loose. If you care, patch a server to do what you need or use http post
and write code on the other end to do what you want.
