I definitely, opt for the HTTP approach as the rest of the people here. The reason for this is what you've said about most of the files being from one to three megabytes.

The problem is for the "rest", so:

Have you considered allowing users to send larger files through e-mail to a deamon script that gets the emails and uploads the emails to the account associated with the sender? Or there is the solution of the flash uploader, in a facebook-like approach.
