Note that splitting the file into chucks required local access, meaning that you might only be able to do that on smart client app (win form / win service / console app / etc.)... on web app, you can consider using Silverlight like what Steve did here http://blog.smarx.com/posts/uploading-windows-azure-blobs-from-silverlight-part-3-handling-big-files-by-using-the-block-apis Hi,

Following are our questions: - our current implementation for upload and download is using UploadFromStream and DownloadToStream ( Storage Client Library 2.0 ) - is this ok for huge files? We have a delay up to 1 min on download for example until the message to save the file is displayed to the user - this for a 100MB file - can we reduce this, based on checks we did is time needed to create the memorystream - other option we found on net is to split huge files into chunks and upload/download in parallel. Our web application it is not on Azure, we would like to use just the Azure storage for clients files. Our goal is to to avoid using our bandwidth for these upload/download client files. This second option, splitting into chunks helps? Do we use our bandwidth, or upload/download or it is done directly, between Azure server and user browser? Thx in advance, Mario Hello,

But I have been looking too at the usage of a MultipartFileStreamProvider. This way I found it possible to upload big files (more than 64 MB) and this at a high speed. See for example the post of Yao : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/yaohuang1/archive/2012/07/02/asp-net-web-api-and-azure-blob-storage.aspx Thanks for your post.

If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
