What I need to do is upload a .swf file to the Media folder so that end-users can download the file. I don't need to embed/play the file on the site, but I do need it to be available for download (or viewing in a blank browser window). I also need it to be in the media folder so that the client can change it if necessary from within umbraco.
My problem is that when I try to upload a .swf to the media folder (I have created a folder called "files" within Media), my browser spends about 3 or 4 minutes looking like it's uploading the file, then stops and it's not there.
Should I be able to do this? If so, what am I doing wrong? Sorry I'm pretty new to Umbraco!

It shouldn't be an issue. You can upload whatever file, as long as you're not limited to the server's settings (which is 2mb by default I *think*). Can you give us some hints on what exactly you're doing in the admin backend, so someone may verify this?

Many thanks,

Incidentally, I sem to have the same issue with .pdf files!

Thanks Dirk, didn't check MaxRequestLength (epic fail).
Upped it and it's all good : )
Yeah, you're probably having an upload limit problem, can you upload other files, like images?
In the web.config you can change the uploadlimit, this line would give you a 4MB upload limit instead of the default 2MB:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4096" />damn,. only seconds too late ;-)
