that is in seconds...try setting it to 0. then, make sure (as someone else
mentioned) that you set the maximum allowable upload file size...either to
your specific limit, or -1 (which i think removes the upload file size
check) while you're debugging. right now though, you probably just want to
see that uploading a large file is possible without timing out. that's fine,
just go back and make sure you have *appropriate* settings for your
production environment.
i don't think its your browser timing out at this point. getting a 200MB
file from one pc to another over the internet and doing any kind of
processing on it, all in 30 seconds, is just a bit too optimistic for me. :)
