I got a thought, but didn't try to check it out: If there's a way to split a file to small chunks (i.e 2MB a chunk), then you can use JS Remote Scripting (HTTPRequest) to upload the chunks one by one, and then append all chunks on server side and you get the 100MB file. This way you can also display a progress bar of uploading. Of course the chunks will be transffered like packets (in TCP), so each chunk will have an header that relates it to the original file.

RE: [PHP] Re: Can I use ftp_put to bypass upload_max_filesize?
Are you meaning timeout limit? Not PHP script execution limit in php.ini? What I understand, the PHP script does not run until the file is uploaded to the server via POST.

I'm not sure, but using multipart encoding may help, it essentially breaks the huge file into smaller chunks.
