Hi Owen,
well 12gb limit is pretty big for plain http uploads. 
The problem here is that version 0.4.x use the php built in method for the
upload which means you cannot go over the 2gb limit.

In svn version there is some experimental code which demands that to a
modified version of uberuploader cgi which should handle the 12gb (but I
have no idea if there's some limit in perl cgi or apache)

One thing to consider is that uploading 12gb might really take a long time
and if something goes wrong you have to restart the upload.
Also right now the download has the same limitation, resume is not
possible. (I have looked at some php code to implement the resume, but
cannot figure out yet on how to apply restrictions to that)

Maybe having a simple user -> directory with authentication in apache or a
"simple" FTP server would be better to handle such a distribution.

Hope this helps.
