Re: Bug #8377 Updated: File uploads with POST methods takes full Server processing capacity and memory

Could this be my problem? I am seeing something very similar to this, but its taking down the entire server very quickly. What is the maximum recommended file size on a P-III 450Mhz machine with 256MB (usually <50MB free) running RH6.0 Currently I am allowing 20Mb uploads Nick.
