    Posted: 14 April 2004 at 10:27am

i was just wondering if it would be safe to mod the forum so i could have a larger upload limit, am on JodoHost so i think i use ASUpload

would it be safe to incress the limit from 2000kb to say 5000kb?

i think there the sizes

anyway just wanna know if it'd be safe to change the limit with this component

does anyone know the acctual limit?, i just wanna be able to upload mp3s thru it, since i have a hip-hop freestyle site
so the copyright will be ok

As a rule most components support 2MB.

To know how big you can increase the size limit to you need to findout what component and version is installed on the server and check with the providers of the component the maximum size for that version.

I know with AspUpload some older versions are lmited to 2MB, but I believe that may have increased in later versions.

Uploads via asp/http are inefficient and tend to put load on the server which is primarily designed to serve up web pages. FTP is both faster and less resource intensive which is why many components and hosts have the 2mb limit on asp/http uploads.

If you consistently have uploads over 2mb (or even over 500kb), you should look to set-up an ftp area.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

I have also found with components like AspUpload that during the upload process the web server is unable to process calls for any pages on your site. Making your site unavailable during large uploads.

That is why the demo version of the RTE Editor on this site has been placed in it's own subdomain so that if people test out the upload fetaure it doesn't interfer with the running of the rest of the site.

Do these kinds of problems occur in asp.net? i.e. pure asp.net no COMS

I wouldn't know, I've only tested and found this problem with AspUpload at present.
