Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where best to put it.
I have clients that will be uploading large media files to umbraco using the upload file control in the admin panel.
Some of these files will hit 200mb.
I can upload a 100mb file happily, however when I try to upload a 190mb file (200,003,584 bytes) the file appears to be uploading for approx 45 mins (sending request to www.mysite.com appears at the bottom of the browser window), then it simply says "done" but the file has not been saved.
I'm not seeing any error messages on the screen at all. The only way I can tell it has failed is by looking at the file type and size on the file tab of the media window. Both of which are blank.
I'm using IIS6 on a Win2k3 server, and have set my web.config for the site to the following within system.web
I do have a 20 minute timeout set for members (the site has a member login) but was not aware that this would automatically apply to the admin section.
Could it be my executionTimeout setting that's causing the problem, and if so, shouldn't I recieve an error message
I should mention that if I load the file onto the server, and open a browser window for umbraco from there, it works sweet as a nut. I only get this problem when uploading from a remote box.

Hi Shaun,
Off the top of my head, no error is generated when you exceed the upload size. But that's from memory. How long does the 100MB file take?
About 40 mins I think.
I've gone into the metabase.xml file for IIS and set AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed to 256000., restarted IIS
I've also amended the web config file again, and it now reads
Fingers Crossed
