large files is possible by doing a server side import. Setting up a process for

perhaps we'll offer a contract for that next year :)

Process? Tools?
It would just be making a 'bigupload' right for people to bypass file
size restrictions (or have a extremely high one).
Then give it to sysops or a new group.
The only thing is not to get those users uploading giantic files when
storage nodes are getting out of space. It could even be automated so
bigupload right would only be effective if there's at least X or X% free
space on disk.
Of course we would also need an interface able at least to continue
interrupted uploads, to make it really useful. I did a proposal years
ago based on a FTP upload interface. Maybe you are referring to
something similar. Please keep me posted.
Upload from URL and Firefogg should alleviate the issue, though.
