Have you tried to gzip the files before uploading them through the usual 
channel ?
I've not had any problems uploading large GPX files (5+ MB files) unless 
the tmp area on the server has been filled up with rut.

But gzipping (Not zip, but gzip) them first is cutting down on bandwith 
usage, which imho is allways a good thing, and also makes sure that any 
lousy browser implementation for uploading files, doesn't balk at the 
size and time taken to upload them.
