the FrontPage form uploader will stop on a 1MB file (won't upload larger).
I have a pretty simple uploader for PHP if you like it I'll give it to you.
I've also got an uploader/ viewer/ deleter for .asp if you want to run it on
a windows server. both are made of bits and pieces of stuff I found on the
web and you're welcome to either.
