Ideally, the upload limit will eventually be high enough to allow us to provide lossless data files (with classical music movements of up to ~20MB, this would need to be up to 100 MB lossless music in FLAC format). The feasibility of serving 100MB files over HTTP still needs to be discussed, but I can't see how a 40MB limit would cause us any problems or cost us significant resources.
I've forwarded your message to wikitech-l asking what the practical issues would be with upping the limit, e.g. if the servers would melt.
Thank you, hopefully we can reach a couple of conclusions and see something happen if consensus is achieved.
Just to clarify my last post, when I stated "with classical music movements of up to ~20MB, this would need to be up to 100 MB lossless music in FLAC format", I meant to say "with classical music movements of up to ~20 MINUTES...". I've either had too much coffee today or not enough sleep; I'll read what I write a little more carefully :)
