thanks for the suggestions. I got the uploading of large files figured out. I also got tmt_img working on the site only to realize that java sucks for resizing images. When testing it out, a 2 megapixel image took almost 2 minutes to resize and once it was done, it was about 20 shades darker than the original. Anyway, I installed Imagemagick on the server used cfexecute, and now the images are resized in under 2 seconds usually.
