Q: 

What is the best strategy for handling large file upoads with Ruby on Rails?

I'm looking for effective strategies to handle large file uploads (between 10 and 40 mbs) effectively with Ruby on Rails.

Ideally I'd like to implement a progress meter and some sort of notification when the transfer is complete.

I have looked at modporter (www.modporter.com), but I'm interested to know if there are other libraries, techniques or best practices.

A: 

This article seems to cover your problem.

It really depends on your webserver...

I mentioned in my original question that I have already looked at modporter (the recommendation in the article). I'm actually looking for other solutions.
