Although it has been called an "urban legend" :), you could try the old MAX_FILE_SIZE trick. For this, add a hidden tag before the <input type="file"> tag: <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="(your $ of bytes here)"> This is an instruction to the browser to restrict the size of files that it will attempt to upload, but browers are not required to honor it.
