what error message are you getting and what operating system do you use?

you may be facing a client side problem. I dont believe (unless recently changed) browsers support uploading files over 2gb.

thats why upload scripts exist. You will be much better off using a flash or java upload script to upload large files. One of the big reasons is the stability of uploading large files via a browser... the SMALLEST little blip and it fails the upload. so when a customer/user gets to 1.8gb uploaded and it happens to fail, they have to start all over again. using a Flash or Java upload script will allow uploads to be resumed after having failed. they also provide a much better progress bar so the customer/user knows whats going on.
