However you want to look at it, the point is that the HTTP upload option (or whatever the Flash side of the tool does) exists.

The OP wants to upload more than 4GB and I wouldn't trust HTTP to
transfer 4GB from a client to a server on a regular basis. There is no
way to resume a failed upload.

I agree with you on that.

Sincerely thank all answer the question firstly.
Upload large file will block the app AFAIK,and user can't browse others at the same time .

And then they think it has hung. And then they go away.

I met with that when I upload a large file the computer system halted under ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it brings me a lot of trouble. besides ,when I use mongrel ,the web server will create temp files ,which several times of original file size,in other word ,it needs more disk or memory to complete it.
maybe I should have a try with nginx firstly ...

This isn't going to get any better for you. Are you expecting that by switching to nginx you're going to be able upload 4GB with nothing more than a screen flicker when the success page is returned?

Why not follow up on by looking at the Flash upload control at Dropbox that Marnen Laibow-Koser describes? See how fast it can upload 250MB, what it does if you interrupt the upload, etc.
