Is it possible to allow people to upload files over 2 mb?

I'm about to incorperate a downloads section on my site and textures + movie files for a 3d program will be hosted in the forum and listed somewhere else.

It would be possible by modifying the fields directly in the database to a higher value, but i havent had much luck with doing so with the aspsimpleupload component (timeout's, page just hanging) could be different with a different component but if your host supports asp.net i reccomend using one of the many upload scripts available.

I have a simliar system at my site with users uploading mod files for games, and havent had a problem with files up to 5-6meg using asp.net.

Does anyone know if http://www.asphelp.com - www.asphelp.com is out permanently? They made the ASPSimpleUpload component which my host uses. I don't need it for any forum reasons, but was just wondering?

The reason for the 2Mb limit in the forum is nearly all the components have a 2Mb limit on upload size.

asphelp.com is up, but only sometimes, try googles cache of the site.

We are using this forum on our IntraNet, so speed and capacity isn't problem for file uploads more than 2MB. We think to use filesize up to 25 MB.

So what to do, I mean is there any free ASP upload script which offer more than 2MB?

Thank you.

If you look in the admin section of the forum there are links to all the supported components, you will just have to checkout those sites to see if any support more than 2mb file sizes.

You will then have to manually put the 25mb limit into the database tblConfiguration table.
