I host videos on my site via photopost..

My question is when a member uploads a file (say a big file), does the upload script open a mysql connection and keep it open while the upload is going? Now I'm storing the files in the file system vice database.

I'm looking to allow like 100meg uploads for videos, but with doing that, I'm wondering if this will tie up the mysql side until it's done (if photopost keeps the mysql connection even though the file is being uploaded to the filesystem)????

I know I can set the max time in the php settings, but I just don't want to open myself to loading down my dedicated server when someone is uploading a big 50meg video...

Thanks in advance!!
