Hey, i'm working on a backend for some music studio. The backend needs to handle large file uploads (~10gig). I have found out that there are several issues and possible solutions.
- drupal can't manage files with 2gig+ (which is really lame but easy to fix) #1815886: Drupal core cannot manage files larger than 2 GB
- php.ini and nginx.conf would need some adjustments when using php / flash / html5 upload stuff (jquery_upload, swf_upload, plupload etc). -> old browsers have a big chance to fail
- another solution would be running jupload which is java and simply runs an FTP client in the background. It would need a patch because it only support old school unencrypted FTP transfer -> java applet loading is not user friendly
- filedepot looks cool but a 1500$ is out of the budget
Did anyone managed to do this in the past?

Great question...
I would be interested in any suggestions or success stories on this topic as well. While BOA is a great solution for the VPS crowd (the best IMO), we use it primarily in a large enterprise data center where it is not limited by such resource preservation concerns.
