Loading large amounts of content into a content component

Question

I need to publish a large XML file (~ 8 MB = ~ 28,000 lines) from Tridion (2011 SP1 HR1) on the web server (s).

I did this in the past with XML documents of a similar size, loading an XML file into a multimedia component in Tridion, and then using a simple component template, displayed the contents of the file at the time of publication. However, in the implementation of Tridion, in which I work, there is already a mechanism for publishing content on the site using the very simple component "Code" (not Multimedia), which has one text box for the "code".

The problem I am facing is that the browser becomes unresponsive / crashing when I try to insert such a large amount of content into the Code component. Does anyone know a way (either in a browser or in Tridion) to make this possible? I have the opportunity to add a component template to treat this as a multimedia component, but I would not want to do this if I could make the existing mechanism work.

I tried this in IE, Chrome and Firefox. I also tried downloading this using WebDav without success. We have already increased the HTTP upload size on the server to 0.5 GB to accommodate large binary files.

Thanks Jonathan

The first thing that comes to mind is WCF size limits in the CoreService configuration.

They are defined in Web.Config CME under (default): C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Tridion \ web \ WebUI \ WebRoot
