A company Element-It created some time ago a handy http flash file upload utility. Unfortunately it is not free. bluApple does come with the full version of their utility. However, I am distributing it withou their permission and will probably get into trouble for it at some point.
To avoid this conflict I urge you as a responsible user to support their company and purchase their product Multipow Upload. They do offer a free download of their software but it is limited to the amount of files you can upload at a time and has a maximum file upload limit.
When I get some extra money, I will purchase their redistribution license which is $599. Then no one has to worry about it. Yay!
Advanced Techniques
I came accross some issues with IIS 7 and http file transfers.
1.IIS 7 out of box limits you to around 30MB uploads.-http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944981. Also keep in mind this is a web app specific setting, so make sure you're editing the correct web.config.
2. You also should change the IIS connection time out for your web app. In IIS 7 find your web app's site in the IIS Manager and click "Limits" link on the right in the "Actions" pane. The default is 120 seconds. Feel free to make that much longer.
If your using IIS 6 you may have to do similiar tweaks to support large file uploads via http.

I originally built bluApple as a personal utility to rapidly produce websites. Over several years it has slowly grown into a respectable CMS tool. I feel that with support from the community, bluApple Coldpress can become a contender as one of the top CMS products on the market.
