Hi,
Can anyone suggest me best way to upload large files (>100-500MB) to my
ASP.NET web application (IIS 6.0, Win 2K3).
The problem we see with conventional method is that the session times
out, and the entire file gets loaded in IIS memory and things get worst when
couple of users upload 100s of MBs of file.
The solution should also work with MAC browsers.
Any pointers will be of great help.
Thanks,
Raj.

You could try a 3rd party solution:

I beleive this has a free version - not sure on the licensing of it.
http://assistedsolutions.com/components/SlickUpload/

ASP.NET HttpModule that provides scalable RFC 1867 upload handling for
ASP.NET applications by streaming an upload directly to a file or database,
replacing the builtin ASP.NET functionality that fills memory. This allows
an application to accept large uploads (up to 2 GB). SlickUpload also
provides a progress display during an upload.

You could also try my NeatUpload control:

http://www.brettle.com/neatupload

It's licensed under the LGPL so that it can be included in commercial
software free of charge.  I think it is also the only ASP.NET upload
solution that works under both Mono and .NET.
