Uploading large files with Paperclip

I want to be able to routinely upload about 3x 20mb files to a specific type of record in a Rails app. So far I'm using Paperclip and I get a pretty average success rate and a lot of EOF (bad content body) errors.

What can I do to improve the situation? Googling rails large upload doesn't turn much up.

Uploading large files, while slow, should succeed. The EOF (bad content body) error seems unrelated.

What are you using to upload the files? A standard multipart web form? And is anything unusual happening with the server configuration? Or are you using POW? Apparently POW users have reported similar issues.

For large files, I typically use S3 for storage and would recommend uploading directly to S3.
