RE: adding very large file to repository fails

chester:

dan is most likely correct. 

if you are using iis 5.0, take a look at the "%windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.y.yyyy\config\machine.config" file.  you should look for an xml element named "processmodel".  set the "memorylimit" attribute to something like 80 or 90.  (this is a % of total memory that is used before iis kills off the asp.net process).

in iis 6.0, i believe this setting is controlled somewhere in the application pool properties.
