hi Alex,
it is not possible to extent the file size limit because of server/php restrictions.
The reason and the possibilities to deal with these common limitations are described in the Read First forum:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2232&p=10494#p10494
How big are the files we are talking about?

is it true that 128kbit is enough??
my files are all in 320kbit! so i could downsize them, one file is 17MB and the other 26MB.

For Hi-Fidelity music I recommend 320kbps (if mp3 is good enough) but as I wrote 128kbps is more than enough for our purpose.

my music is in loseless (wav)
i will think about reducing the files but is there no chance of improving your system/server. i read in the forum that in former time, the upload limit was even smaller.

It was 12MB when I first joined the forum. I guess I6MB is a good improvement.

ok, from 12 to 16MB so is there a chance of improving the system/server to even a higher limit?
sndprv: what do you think is 128MB enough?

hello yeppie, maybe you can expand the limit of uploads to 20MB. thanks. its annoying i just had a new file with 16,2 MB and after trying 4 times to upload it, had to resize it from 128kBit/s to 112 kBit/s just to get it up on the site.

Hello Alex,
what I wrote in my first answer is still valid:
it is not possible to extent the file size limit because of server/php restrictions.
You can always split files using 7zip so they will be joined automatically when unzipped.
