50? That's pretty big :-)

It does finally appear that Chrome on Windows can cope with >4GB uploads

IE10 still can't do it, anything greater than 4GB never even transfers a 
byte of the file. :(

P.S. If you are interested in health updates, friend me (JulesFM) on 
Facebook. I post them there, as it's the most efficient way of reaching 
all my friends and colleagues.
