With chunked uploading, you're uploading your file in chunks of 1 MB, which means that the impact of failure for large uploads is vastly reduced (if a chunk fails, you just reupload that chunk) and that progress bars can be implemented. This does need client-side support, e.g. using the Firefogg extension for Firefox or a bot framework that knows about chunked uploads. This probably means the upload limit can be raised, but don't quote me on that.
