Just to clarify further. If the file is large enough, it WON'T be kept in memory, instead it will be written to a temp file and the handle for that will be passed in the params. I don't know of any way inside Rails to stop a file being uploaded, but suspect you could get the web server to limit how much it would upload for a single request.
