If you are on CF8, this sounds to me like the sort of thing you could use CFTHREAD for - the upload can continue in the background but the user can get on with their business.

It's uploading file, but it's taking more than 5 mins to upload 250MB file. CF cannot write it to disk until it receives ALL of the post data, which means the whole stream goes into memory first. And I can't recall if the post data is actually sent as binary of encoded on the fly by the browser, in which case CF would have to decode the whole stream before writing it to disk, and then of course write the entire 250MB file to disk... to the temp location that CF uses... then your CF template starts to execute, and the cffile tag causes that temporary file to be copied to your destination.. So I'm not surprised it's slow. 50MB a minute doesn't seem terrible. As for the suggestion of making users use FTP, that's not exactly user friendly, so if you find the file upload HTTP method acceptable, I'd do that. You might want to warn the user with a javascript alert on submitting the form that the process may take some time.
