Is it true that CFFILE in CF8 is now able to accomodate large file upload without any problem. In the following blog, it says the writer has tried to upload 5 GB file with ease. http://www.rupeshk.org/blog/index.php/2007/08/coldfusion-8-changes-with-file-upload/

If this is correct than I don't need to split my huge file into several smaller files to be processed. My file won't go beyond 2 GB, may be between 1 to 2 GB the most. I need some advice from the more experience programmers. Thanks.

You should be able to upload 2GB without any problems. In my experience, the main issue has been bandwidth. Small bandwidth means sucking an elephant through a straw.
