When a IIS was upgraded to IIS 6.0 or higher, large files (specifically larger than 204,800 bytes) uploaded via ASP get the following error:
error '800a0001'
Request.BinaryRead failed
What will fix this error?

By default IIS6 limits the file upload side to 204,800 bytes. To increase this maximum size edit the metabase file entry: AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed.
Set the value to the maximum size you want to allow.
ex (for a maximum of one gig):
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed = "1000000000"

Yes, this is a setting you should have on your check list for IIS 6, though I hope everybody will install windows server 2008 on their new machines. – splattne Jul 02 '09 at 13:43

Please add the equivalent for Server 2008. – C. Ross Jul 02 '09 at 16:05
