Large file upload in strapi fails

Using strapi 3.0.0-alpha.14.1.1, upload-local file provider and mongodb, it fails to upload a 500 MB file. Though the "Maximum size allowed (in MB)" is set to 10000 MB, it throws the following error:

Using curl:

curl -X POST -F 'files=@/development/TestFiles/largefile.zip' http://localhost:1337/upload

{"message":"An internal server error occurred","statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error"}

Using admin panel:

Error: maxFileSize exceeded, received 209780558 bytes of file data

Any help please?

Thanks to Flux159(in github)

Created an issue in github and got the below working repsonse. Might be useful for others:

In config/environments/development/request.json, you need to change the koa body parser config for formidable:

Example: Setting maxFileSize to 500MB for formidable (number is in bytes so 500*1024*1024):

...
"parser": {
    "enabled": true,
    "multipart": true,
    "formidable": {
      "maxFileSize": 524288000
    }
  },
...
