    File upload up to 4GB

    Hi,

    i am trying to set the max upload size to 4 GB, but i do not have success. I set the parameter <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength ="4000000000" /> in web.config and in %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config. But the ajaxuploader ignores my settings.
    I can only upload files < 2GB. I am using IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 and i tried the upload with the browser IE8, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.6, Chrome 5 and Safari 5. To my knowledge the current browser generation can upload files up to 4GB.
     
    Any idea, why ajaxuploader ignores my settings? Thanks for your help.

    What's the maximum size for an upload?

    Ajax uploader is designed to work with up to 2GB files. The reason for the limit is simple - current browsers does not support upload of bigger files than 2GB over internet and IIS also accepts only 2GB files.
     
    Software
    Versions
    Upload limit
    Internet explorer
    All versions
    2GB-1
    Mozilla Firefox
    All versions
    2GB-1
    IIS
    1-5
    2GB-1
    IIS
    6
    4GB-1
    ASP
    All versions
    2GB-1

    Re: File upload up to 4GB

    Given that some browsers do support uploads of up to 4GB, is there any way around the 2GB limit?
