Easy upload technique

Uploading large files, need to deal with hosting limits!

Here's the story:

I'm running a gaming website.

I need people to be able to upload large files to the site - anywhere between 500k and 100MB.

My hosting provider won't increase my single file limit to larger than 2.5mb. I was going to get around that by using an applet called "ThinFile" which essentially sends up the large file in small chunks, and reassembles it on the server once the UL is complete. Great solution - except - I'm getting feedback that people are leery about "trusting" the applet ( a dialog box pops up asking them to), and so now, i'm looking for a solution that will do what ThinFile did, but, won't freak out people that think some virus is coming there way.

Any ideas?!

You can always try changing to limits yourself.

Create a file called .htaccess and add this to it:

php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value memory_limit 200M

:OR:

You can upload the files through FTP from a httppage. You will have to look for the commands on php.net yourself though.

I guess I was looking for more of a canned package - i'm no programmer. Is there a Flash app out there that can do this?
