Would emailing an agent under these circumstances be bad form?

I got a request for a partial, which I uploaded via the agent's online database. It seemed to take an awfully long time, but it also seemed to go through.

Other people who uploaded their manuscripts mentioned getting a confirmation email that said their upload was successful. I didn't get one. Checked my spam folder--nada. I also can't remember if the message that was on the screen after I uploaded my document was the same as the other authors'.

Would I be an idiot to email and ask if it went through? I know how busy agents are, and I don't want to damage a potential relationship by seeming needy. It's only been around a month since I sent it. On the other hand, if it never got to said agent, isn't it better to know now rather than waiting six months or so to status query?

Help!

Thanks, both of you. The whole author/agent etiquette thing can be confusing sometimes!

I emailed the agent and she hadn't received my pages! So thanks again.
