We have successfully loaded files in excess of 50 meg through a browser using CFFILE (disclaimer...not by my choice!). We had to boost our pagefile.sys size to make room for these rediculously large files. If you run out of memory, it will de-stabilize your server. And, if the client terminates the upload before the upload is complete, often times the temporary memory space is not released. After a while, the memory will fill up. Our work-around is to reboot the server every couple of days (during the night), to guarantee that everything is clean, clear, and fresh.
In the meantime, we are looking at solutions like PHP's FTP functions. Good luck.

Our big problem was that CFFILE loads the entire file into memory before saving it to disk. So it's possible your problem is in CFFILE trying to put it all in memory before saving to disk. > > Chris Norloff > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > from: "Jason Larson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 10:34:04 -0600 > > >I was wondering if anybody out there has had any timeout issues when > >loading large files through the web browser with cffile.
