That's good to know...I ran into this a while back but never knew what
was causing the failure (I can only guess this was it but...)...was one
of the last straws before I went Apache.

Subject: RE: CFFILE upload max. file size?

There is a bug in IIS that limits the file upload size.  Its tricky to
put a number on it, but anything over 4 megs on a 100mbit line will
likely send your server running never to return.

It has nothing to do with memory allocation, it's a fricken bug in IIS.
Microsoft acknowledges it to their ASP developers and directs them to
use a com object for the transfer in lou of a form post.  This works of
course for CF as well, but it means you can not use CFFILE for user
uploads on top of IIS.

Well, unless you like having your server crash.
