[Using Sakai] file size limits

[Sean DeMonner]

WebDAV doesn't honor the upload limit, so we usually direct users with large files (>50 mB) to use that interface instead. There are other issues with WebDAV unfortunately...typically we suggest using third party software like Anyclient vs. the built-in Win or Mac OS services.

We use a 50 MB upload limit through the browser and a 1 GB quota per site at U-M.

They are all uploading files for their portfolios and are complaining about difficulty with the upload process. We have our file upload size limit set to 50 mg.  right now. I’m also wondering if the students are handling the uploads on wireless connections from their dorm rooms. Have any of you run into any difficulties with either uploads or quotas on Sakai? Can you share the limits you’ve established or best practices that seem to work with students in disciplines who typically create large files – for example graphic design, art, architecture, digital video etc? Any suggestions would be most welcome.
