Large File Uploads

I made my list and checked it twice. :(

I've got a client who wants to allow his clients to upload 100MB files thru HTTP. He also wants a progress meter. I'm using the megaupload progress meter, minus the 5MB filesize limit. I've also set my apache transfer timeout to a ludicrously high number, and in php.ini I've set upload_max_filesize, max_execution_time, max_execution_time, etc to values that should allow for large file uploads.

I can upload files of several MB, but w/ anything larger, either the transfer hangs or $HTTP_POST_FILES is empty for the processing script. megaupload uses some perl/cgi code to handle the post data and show the progress meter, but I looked thru it carefully and nothing in there seems to be likely to cause a problem. Can anyone give me advice on what else I should look into? This is driving me NUTS...

Maybe you could persuade the client to allow the files to be sent through email and then automatically extracted from the messages on the server? I think that would be much more reliable and less frustrating for the users (less chances of a timeout).
