Hi Aarti,
I also tried to upload big files (10 Gb) to the Galaxy through FTP, according to the instructions, but my internet is too slow and it didn't succeed (I left the computer open for days, but it always crashed in the middle). Therefore, I want to install Galaxy on a single computer, and needs to know which computer to buy.
I didn't help you much, I know.

Hi Jennifer,
I have previously used the web version of Galaxy for doing some RNASeq analysis and I loved it!

I now have some more RNASeq and ChIPSeq data I want to analyze using Galaxy, but the file sizes are more than 2GB and hence am unable to use the web version.

Larger data can be loaded onto the public Galaxy main instance at http:/usegalaxy.org using FTP as described:

1 - on the "Get Data -> Upload" tool form, lower section
2 - in this wiki example document
   http://galaxyproject.org/wiki/Learn/Upload%20via%20FTP
3 - in the screencast example "Tool tutorials -> Using FTP"

I have got Galaxy installed on a server a couple of weeks back, but have not been able to use it at all. I get stuck at the stage of trying to upload the files. After some time I get an internet connection timeout error. My files are between 3 - 6 Gb in size. Will anybody from your team be able to help with this issue?

I am sending this directly to you but if you feel this is more appropriate for the mailing list, I will be happy to send it out there, but am getting a little bit desperate trying to get Galaxy to work.

You are correct, the mailing list is the best place to ask questions. I will forward this question & reply to the galaxy-user mailing list, as others may encounter similar issues and will benefit from the reply. In the future, using a mailing list to asks questions would be appreciated.

Would greatly appreciate your help.

Take care,
