Guys, I was trying to upload a file on a thread last night and was reject being that the file was to big. It said the file types maximum size was 19.5mb and my file was 76mb. Is this correct ?
Oh yeah, it was a PDF file. 76mb isn't really a big file.
If this is the case, is there another way to get it up there ?

Indeed it is.. Not many servers will allow you to upload something so big. They pay for bandwidth by the GB, and ten or twenty people downloading one file kills a few gig.

Michael & Cihan, I understand your size comment, with multiple people accessing it, though i ment 76mb, isn't that big in that it doesn't take much for a file of any type these days to be 100+mb.
How do i host it myself, never done this before. Willing to attempt anything.

Something funny about those numbers. We won't accept files anywhere near 19.5Mb, More like 150Kb from memory. And for a pdf, 76Mb is getting up into gigantic land. To put it into perspective, 76Mb would be about 4 hours on a 56k modem with a full 56Kb connection.
Hosting yourself means to find a preferably free host that will take large files (possibly your own ISP) and then putting a link to the file in your post.

Peter, The figure of 19.5mb is what comes up when the file is to big, maybe it has changed and not updated ? I will look into the hosting idea, i will call my ISP provider.
