File upload size limits?

Can nginx handle very large (4-8GB) file uploads? Using the nginx
upload module with “client_max_body_size 8000m;”, the maximum size file
I could upload was 2GB using FireFox 3.6. Are there any cross-browser
issues that I need to be aware of - especially with FireFox?

Answer: YES. YES. The browser is the issue not nginx.

I use nginx for 4GB uploads and have never noticed any big issues. Cept
make
sure you have fast disks and a decent pipe if you have alot of users
uploading 4GB files they can usually max your net.
