That’s a tough one… something’s going wrong client-side for you. Honestly, I’d look into a progressive upload solution, but I don’t think browsers were really ever designed to send such large files. Sorry I don’t have much in the way of help for you.

I have a similar site..to upload very large files (up to 1,5 gb) on an internal network.
But when i try to upload large files , any web browser starts using 100% cpu and the pc becomes nonresponsive until the upload finishes.

Any tought how could i make it use less cpu ?

Thanks for the tip on this one, post_max_size. Was driving me nuts until I found your post.

@Kirill: this might be because of the urlencode. Some tests proved content can triple its size if urlencoded: so 4GB file might mean 12GB to upload.

Kirill: 4GB is the limit for 32-bit Apache installations?

Hi,
I was having this problem and after following these steps, was still getting no increase in allowed file size.

I have shared hosting and I solved this by adding:
RLimitMem 128000000
To my .htaccess file.

I hope this helps somebody else as i have spent two days fixing this problem!!
