Abstract

According to a first aspect of embodiments herein, the object is achieved by a method performed by a mobile terminal for uploading a file in a communications network. After the mobile terminal (201) has selected a buffering module to be used for uploading the file, it sends (202) to the selected buffering module, the file to be uploaded in the communications network. The mobile terminal receives (204) a notification from the selected buffering module. The notification is about an estimated time to any one or more out of: upload start and upload end. The mobile terminal then refrains (205) from re-sending to the selected buffering module the file to be uploaded in the communications network until the estimated time to any one or more out of: upload start and upload end has expired.
