Upper limit for size of uploaded files?

znmeb
I'm attempting to upload a rather large (nearly 500 mb) file to the  
Files section of an appliance. It's crashed twice, and I'm wondering  
if there's an undocumented upper limit to the size of a file I can  
upload. Is there? If so, what is it?

There isn't an upper limit - users have uploaded files as large as 4.3
GB. We will be improving the file upload experience, but meanwhile you
can try using Google Chrome. It has a built it upload progress indicator
and some users have indicated better success with it.

Cheers,

Actually, I've mostly been using Chromium, but I've had some problems  
with both Chromium and Firefox. I ended up breaking the file up into  
chunks - the largest is now about 250 MB and it is working most of the  
time.

I have had sporadic cases where I select a file with the mouse and the  
pointer goes somewhere else - to a different file. That's probably  
some AJAX / Javascript issue in VirtualBox - I'm uploading the files  
from an appliance running as a guest in VirtualBox.
