I’d recommand using SWFUpload for initiating the upload +  
Backgroundrb to handle the upload (so your mongrel is released while  
backgroundrb’s workers keep track of the upload itself).

However, uploading such large files through HTTP is something I’d  
avoid, there’s no way to resume the upload if it fails.

Best regards
