i just got a dreamhost acount and went to upload a file (a video file thats lkie 20mb) and it hung there forever. then i see that files can only be 7mb! i looked it up on their forums and ppl are saying about this complicated way to modify ini files or something that will change the default max upload size. am i an idiot and there is some really easy way around this? all i want to do is put a 20mb file on my webspace. i don’t understand why they would let 7mb be the default. i mean i would think most users would at som point want to upload something bigger than 7mb and not everyone knows enough to make the changes themsevles.
