Hi arevach, as you told you increase maximum file upload and increase timeout in iis, have you try the following steps:- 1- increase the default chunk size for large files :- Stsadm.exe –o setproperty –pn large–file–chunk–size –pv <size in bytes>. i advise you read the following article http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2007/06/27/file-name-length-size-and-invalid-character-restrictions-and-recommendations.aspx this article have many trouble shooting tips for your problem.

Apart from increasing the maximum file upload limit to 700 MB in CA, you should do the following too: In web.config file, under the httpRuntime tag in system.web section: Increase the upload limit to match the value that you set earlier in central admin Add the execution timeout to allow more time before it times out. the line should look like: Example: <httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" maxRequestLength="700000"/> where 300 means 5 minutes as execution time out and 700000 allows uploading 700 MB files.
