[Building Sakai] Drop Box Question

[Jon Wheat]

This is sort of dev-list-ish -
 
We have a graduate program that requires the students produce video projects that profs want placed in the drop box.
Couple questions arise -
 
Aside from the rediculous amount of time it'll take to upload a 1G video into sakai (and the session not timing out)
 
[File Space] : Has anyone else done this with rather large files?  - server file space is going to eventually be an issue, and the properties setting is global, correct?
[Server Location] : Is there a way to configure the drop box to place uploaded content on another server / mapped directory ?
[Others] : Has anyone tackled a similar situation like this a different way ?
 
the other solution would be an FTP server and have them use SFTP or something to upload it.  I guess then if their connection drops / times out, they can pick it up where they left off.
 
thoughts ?
