I'm investigating an issue where a user is uploading a large document to the web server. This is resulting in a time out at their end. However I'm wondering if it is possible to detect this from the server in order to determine if other users are affected.
There is a connection made while the document is being uploaded. So I'm wondering if IIS 6 is able to detect and record or log anywhere when a client request has timed out?

It depends what you mean by times out. If a client request times out because it cannot connect to the server, or doesn't get a response, this is a client thing, IIS know nothing about it.
If the reason for the time out is an error on the server side, say with a script, then IIS will log this error, but not a timeout.
