Options for upload files bigger than 2Gb using web browser

Question

Good day!

I'm looking for options on uploading really big files (over 2Gb) using web browsers. I know that Java applet solutions will work, I know (and have tested by myself) that Flash has internal limitation about 2Gb. What about Silverlight? Have I missed some way\technology of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

To my knowledge upload in .NET 4 is limited to "2097151" (2 GB). It could be set in web.config

<system.web>
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" />
</system.web>   

OK, so there's another idea: you can upload files in chunks. There's a project on codeplex that might be of use to you.
