Uploading Files Memory Issue in ASP.NET

[Guest]

Whenever you upload files via HTTP Post, the file is stored in the
memory of the aspnet_wp.exe process, and never deallocates completely
(if you are lucky a few MB gets released). One of the config settings
for .NET processes, allows them to utilize 60% of physical memory on
the server, at which point the process is recycled and all execution
is stopped. Whenever a new upload is started, though, some memory is
de-allocated, but not enough compared to memory that was used in
prior uploads. Is there anyother way I can solve this issue without
using Third Party Components or Custom Built ISAPI filters.

Any ponters is highly appreciated.

The 3rd party components that I know about use an HTTP module to manage the
memory manually and flush to disk as needed.
I suppose this is how you'd have to do it too.
