Problem uploading large files via ASP

I have a program that allows the user to upload files to a website for collaboration purposes. ASP Simple Upload has worked fine for small files. I've also used some standard ASP code to do it in the past with equal success. However, using either of these methods results in a script time-out after a couple minutes when I try to upload a large file (e.g. 8mb) even though the timeout in IIS is set to 999999 seconds.

Ideas or suggestions, anyone? It seems like it should be faster, too, regardless of the time-out. How does MS-Outlook Web access handle this?
 
Hi,
I'm not sure if this helps but there are 2 script time out settings. One is the IIS ASP Script time out (set in the IIS configuration) while the other is set in the ASP code using the Server.ScriptTimeOut=xxxx (seconds). Supposedly, if you set the one in ASP code, it will override the IIS setting. cheers. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
