That's right, I agree with you, I considered to use FTP because of
that, but I was curious about some HTTP related transfers.

Yes, sure, as the PHP guys recommend, that's why I set post_max_size=3.5G
and upload_max_filesize=3G. Also `memory_limit' must be larger than
`post_max_size', as you can see from my previous message. My PHP
installation is also compiled with large file support, I
double-checked that the Makefile had these compiler flags:

-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Yes, no doubt about it. I agree, I was just curious about POST limits.
Thank you,
Matteo
