    Hi Rinat,

    Thanks again for the great product. I’m currently trying to upload large files (80-250MB) in Firefox 20.0.1, and the page either times out, or it take me to a page where only a “0” is displayed. Any ideas what may be causing this, or if it’s an issue with the hosting company? Thanks!

    This is related to your php settings. Check this link out: http://houseoflaudanum.com/navigate/howtos/php-max_upload_size/

    Thank you for the reply. I tried increasing the allowed upload size to 1GB, but I tried uploading another 250MB file and it timed out again. Anything 100MB or smaller works fine, though.

    Did you increase max_execution_time? Probably it times out because server kills request that takes too long.

    Yes, I set it for 1720; should I increase it to something like 6000?

    You can set it to 0 which means infinity.

    Awesome, I’ll give that a shot, thanks for the quick reply! Should I do the same for the max_input_time or does it matter?

    Well, I made the changes and every time I try the larger file size (250MB), I get a page that says “Connection Timed Out” after about 30 seconds. I also tried adding the code to the .htaccess file and kept getting errors when trying to access the site, so I removed the code and the site acted normal again.
