hey guys..
when do people use new mediatypes? i noticed blog records are, rightfully, a new documenttype.. but i also noticed that the image galley demo i saw niels wrote/demoed and he uses a new documenttype as well? then i think i read a post by him that said that he almost always uses document types..
now.. when do people use media types?
also if i have LARGE files ( realm of 40-80MB ), i can't upload it http ( iis restrictions i'm guessing ).. so i probably need to use ftp.. any suggestions for that? and if it's uploaded OUTSIDE of umbraco.. how would i create matching nodes? is there a directory notification module that will update the /media nodes?
lastly.. when can i clear out the /media section on the file system? some of it is not used.. but it wasn't deleted.. since it's not in the database, i'm assuming, i can't just wack it whenever i want.. is there a process for that? ( i think i asked this in relation to webfarms.. )
thank you!

I can't answer many of your questions definitively, but upload size is regulated by the web.config file; add the following... Code:
<system.web>
<!-- set maximum size for uploads. especially useful for zip upload via the dashboard in the media section -->
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200"/>
.
.
</system.web>
Also, for those large uploads, check on the forum for 'ZipUpload' which is a great tool. cheers, doug.
