Web based large files upload with resume facility in django or asp.net

Question

Hi

We are looking for an approach for developing a web based application which should have facility to upload large files (size upto 10 GB) with resume facility.

We want to develop this application using python/django or C#/asp.net.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Using the standard upload functionality of the browser for such large files is rather insane. For such files you rather expose ftp functionality to a disk where you can have, in .NET, have a windows service monitor a certain folder and if something gets dropped there act accordingly. .NET has a FileSystemWatcher class available to aid you in your effort.
