Thanks for your reply.

I don't think It's possible to upload such size from the browser, you
will be limited in RAM I guess. Better to use a script. If you use
couchdbkit you can can stream the sending. But such attachment size
it's a little big. It may be better to save it on a filesystem or if
you want it in CouchDB you can split the file in multiple chunks and
save it in multiple docs, then map them to retrieve final file from
from CouchDB.
