 I have seen the problem with files as small as 20 MB, and consistently 
 with 200 MB files. But it depends on the environment. I want to upload as 
 large as 4GB files from a browser.
 
 I understand part of the problem is just the ASP.NET design, but I need a 
 solution on Mono.

+ASP.NET 2.0 fixes this.
+
+Our plan is to implement the feature for ASP.NET 2.0 and expose it
+also in our 1.0 version of Mono.
+
+In what time frame do you need this feature?
+
+If you can not wait, one alternative is to use a custom httpHandler,
+and intercept the request before the ASP.NET runtime gets its hands on it.
+
+Basically, you need to write an httpHandler, register that, disable
+formsauthentication for it (because forms authentication will load all
+the POSTed request into memory).
+
+Then you call into HttpContext.GetService (typeof (HttpWorkerRequest))
+which will return the low-level HttpWorkerRequest instance.  Then you
+can load all the data manually from it (copy paste the code from
+HttpRequest).
