Hi, I hope someone can help with this?
My hosts limits file uploads to 64 megs
The problem is any file over 64 megs I make a 1k file with the same name and use the upload core module to attach it to the page. then I ftp in and over write it with the larger file. this use to work just fine, but not any longer since the upgrade to drupal 6.16. If they click on the node, then click on the attachment they still only get the smaller file like it is not grabbing it from the sites/default/files folder because in that foldr the larger files are there over written the smaller files.
Has anyone else experienced this is there any fix?
Thank you.

caching
I do this also, sometimes, when updating pdfs and typically it is usually the browser cache that gets in the way.
Try deleting the browser cache. If that doesn't work, if you are on Windows you can use a web debugging proxy like http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ to see what exactly is happening between the web server and you.
BTW, public or private download method? (See file-system setings for this).

caching
I can try and look at this application, but I'd be clueless. I did clear my browser cache as well as drupals cache and still the same thing. May I give you the site to try:
http://radiooutofthepast.org and the link you want is:
Same Time Save Station hosted by Johnn and larry Gassman
Oh and I am using private download method because I use the download counter module.
everyone who tries to donload the file only get a 2k file or so and the file is over 100 mb.
I'm stumpt.
Private Uploads
You are being limited by the content-length header. I would suggest you get the File Import module, it will do what you need.

BTW, do you go to any of the old time radio conventions? I've got a couple of friends who are really into the classic radio shows and attend the Cincinnati Show every year.

file import module
I am trying this module and I can mport the file I left the defaults
/sites/default/files/import
sites/default/files
I can import the file I want to the node, but when I click to download it, I am getting access denied.
It all looks ok to me, so I am not understanding this error. A search in the forums has gave me no results to figure this out.
I can access the node just fine, I only get this error when I try to download the attachment. looking on the server if I am reading it ring the permissions for the file are 664 and they should be 644 that is what the rest of them are so I change it to 644 with no results. The group is the same as the rest of the files that work.
I do not attend the radio conferences, but I do enjoy listening to old time radio.
Thank you for pointing this module out to me.
can not access attachments
I still can not access the attachments that I added with the file import module. I tested the core upload module and it all works fine.
Is there any other option other then the file import module as I can not get past this, If I can not find a solution by tonight I'll be forced to go back to the old site drupal 6.15 and just keep it that way and hope things will hold together even though the site does not look as nice cause I just do not understand how an admin can get a access denied error.
under drupal 6.15 I could get by with uploading a 2k file with upload in core and hen just uploading my larger file via ftp over the top. Thesize s not correct, but at least people can download the file.
Thanks for any and all suggestions. Here is hoping there is a solution.
