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. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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. -------------

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. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| 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.
