Problem Description Windows 2003 by default limits upload sizes to 200 KB for ASP pages. With AspUpload, this usually manifests as an error
Solution IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 has a file named metabase.xml which resides in the folder C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv . By default, this file has this entry: AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed = "204800"
This limits upload size to 204,800 bytes. You can change that to a large value (such as 2000000000 for 2 gigabytes) to allow your Windows 2003 server to accept large uploads.
If your server does not allow the Metabase Edit-While-Running feature, you will need to stop the IIS service before you can save the metabase.xml file. <

2 GB = 2147483648
Debatable. Since Giga is a SI prefix for 10^9 Hard Drive manufactures use that excuse to advertise their drives as larger than they are. So, someone came up with GiB which uses 2 as a base.<
