Bug Description

As per https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/FileDownloads download files limit is 1GiB.

I tried to upload ~6GiB file and the upload did take forver, and eventually took me to an 'Uh Oh' page.

It would be nice for the upload to abort once 1GiB limit is reached, and possibly give end user error message that it is too big.

Potentially web-browser can do a file size check prior to starting upload, as i have seen other websites abort upload without even attempting to start it, when file is reported to be larger than the limit.
