Well, I can't find the thread now on the adobe forums. They must have purged some messages.
It does buffer to a file, but that doesn't mean you can upload 500gb if you have 500gb available to the temp folder. Also, Java comes into the picture somehow, as well as using up a CF processing thread for the amount of time the upload takes. Here are my settings in CF Admin on the settings page: Maximum size of post data 500mb Throttle threashold is 2mb Throttle memory is 1000mb Numbers higher than that caused the server to crash at certain uploaded file sizes. I think the largest file I could get up there was somewhere between 600mb and 800mb before the server would tank. Really. The server would need to be rebooted. That's why we switched to FTP. Also 'cause many of our clients upload 200 x 200mb files. They click "upload" and go home. Mik At 05:00 PM 3/7/2007, you wrote: >Really? I thought it buffered to file.
