If it's you I talked to on IRC, just a quick recap of what I said (for others who might find this thread): http is generally not a good protocol for large files, be it up- or download, partially due to the protocol itself (high overhead) but also because the implementations are mostly rather targeted to moving small files fast rather than moving big files. I would suggest to anyone planning on moving files bigger than, say 1GB (this is a gut feeling and in no way something I've tested), to look into using ftp, ftps or sftp to move those files.

Now regarding your particular error:

This is an error in passenger dying on a too large file, I've googled it real quick but couldn't find anything, you might have better luck correcting that problem by asking on a passenger board or mailing list.

Is there a way to integrate the ftp protocoll directly inside ChiliÃœroject. E.g. for the files-section? I would like to have something like an archive where the provided files can also be annotated with additional informations (e.g. issues, to document, what has been corrected from one file to another).

The only way I know would be to point the repository section with the repository type "file" (I think) to the directory you upload files to with ftp. That way, you would have the documents in your project as any repository, e.g. the source: links should work too.

Ok, I will try that out. Thank you for the idea. I thought you may have implemented the files section of ChiliProject with ftp. The are also files with a size above 5MB.

Great idea Felix, I forgot about that repository type.
