Problem uploading large files to Home Server via remote access RRS feed

    I just upgraded my beta RC version to the release version and apparently I can no longer upload large files (50+Mb) to my home server via remote access. Smaller sizes seem to work fine. However, once I start to approach 50mb of file size it often doesn't work at all. Is this a known issue or is there a configuration change that needs to be made somewhere?

     

    Thanks to any that reply!

    it often doesn't work at all.
    Without knowing exactly what happens there, it'spossible that your session is timing out, as there's a default of 20 mins. You can easily modify that by installing the WHS Toolkit.

    I saw the threads on the timing issue - I don't think it applies here. When I uploaded the file (the 177MB one) the file transfer bar at the bottom of IE 7.0 was at what appeared to be 100% after about 4-5 minutes. At that time IE just seems to sit there waiting for an acknowledgement from WHS that the file transfer is complete but never gets it. After another 5-10 of waiting, I cancel the download and find that in fact the file has not been uploaded to the server.

    Small files 10mb or less that I try, take moments and always are successful.

    Files < 50mb are spotty, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Verfication of the upload always takes at least 2-3 minutes after IE shows it as complete.

    Files > 50mb, I have had zero luck with transferring files this big. As I said, the transfer bar appears to get to 100% but IE or WHS never acknowledges that it gets the file. I did not have this problem in the beta.

    I've just tried this, a 640mb file transferred just fine - if a bit slow, but that's from a friends' cable connection. Went without a hitch, (this is on OEM software).
