I can not upload files through the frontend. The backend works fine. My site has a size limit for uploads of 512MB. This is what it says on the Files tab:

Maximum upload size: 512.00 MB
Select a file to be uploaded to your server. This file will be used for downloading.
Note 1: If the file already exists, then it will be overwritten.
Note 2: If you are going to select an external file below then this field must be empty, that is showing 'No File selected'
Allowed file extensions: zip, rar, pdf, txt
Allowed maximum size (site): 5120 KB


Note that Allowed maximum size is only 5120 KB - it is calculating something wrong here! I have tried to upload a 20MB file but it refuses and tells me the file size is wrong! 

Joomla 4.2.8
PHP 8.0.27
New installation
Standard front- and backend templates

Hi,
please check the upload limits for your user group!
You find it under User Groups Settings.

Please. tell me where I can find those settings! Either I am blind or then we have different versions. I have the beta 4.0.17 installed. My Options page in jDownloads looks like this, here with the Uploads tab open.
