When you run Windows SharePoint Services on a Window
Server 2008-based computer that is also running Internet Information Services
7.0, you cannot upload files that are larger than 28 megabytes (MB). You
experience this problem even though you have configured the large file upload
settings according to Microsoft Knowledge Base article

Error message when you try to
upload a large file to a document library on a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site: "Request timed out"
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Use Notepad to open the Web application Web.config file. By
default, this file is in the following folder:
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Wss\VirtualDirectories\VirtualDirectoryFolder
- Add the following code to the <configuration> section
of the Web.config file:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
Note This code sets the value of the maxAllowedContentLength property to 52428800. Therefore, the maximum file size of an
uploaded file is 52428800 bytes. However, set the value of this property so that it is larger than the file that you are trying to upload. Also, set the value of this property so that it is larger than the maximum file upload size that you have configured in SharePoint. If you do not, users will not receive an error message that they are exceeding the size limit if they try to upload a file that is larger than the maximum file upload size that you have configured in SharePoint.
