According to the text in the website it says you can upload up to 1GB?? I tried to upload 51.1 MB and recieved the error above. Has anybody had this problem or know how to fix this??
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi there,

Where does it say so? What text are you referring to?

You may want to take a look here: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=68345 It shows you how to set the maxRequestLength attribute of the httpRuntime element.

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

Thanks for the reply I fixed it. It says it on the default.aspx page right above the file upload control "Up to 1GB" which is misleading. It does not say anywhere that you had to configure web.config page
as shown below:

    <httpRuntime
      executionTimeout="1200"
      maxRequestLength="102400"
      useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
      minFreeThreads="8"
      minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
      appRequestQueueLimit="100" />

Misleading??? Hmmm, I think it's just an error. Either the text wasn't updated, or we forgot to add the required setting to the file....

You can file an errata for it if you wish, so others won't run into the same issue....
