There is a compiled in limit in AOLServer 4.0 for 
uploads (I think it is 1mb).  You can increase it by 
setting maxinput in the nssock section of your config
file like this:
ns_section "ns/server/${server}/module/nssock"
  ...
  # maxinput added in aolserver 4.0 with a default of 1mb.
  # we will set it to 64mb
  ns_param   maxinput             [expr 64 * 1024 * 1024]
  ...
