 * 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/](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.
