By default Microsoft Office Server 2007 limits uploads to files that are 50MB or less in size.
This limit can be increased, though it requires changes in both SharePoint and the IIS web server.
Here's how to increase the limit:
RDP to the web server(s)
SharePoint Settings
From the Start Menu open Administrative Tools > SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration
Go into Application Management
Choose Web Application General Settings
Ensure you choose the correct Web Application for which you wish to increase the limit
Increase the Maximum Upload Size to 2047
Ensure that, at the bottom of the page, you click OK
IIS Settings
From the Start Menu open Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Expand the server name, then Sites folder and choose the appropriate SharePoint website
Double-click Configuration Editor
Navigate to the system.webServer/security/requestFiltering section
Expand requestLimits
Set maxAllowedContentLength to be 2147483647
Then in the top right click Apply
IIS Reset
From the Start Menu, open a command prompt and enter iisreset
Wait for IIS to be restarted
