Whenever you see a number and no reference after it (i.e. KB or MB) then it is in bytes. So divide the number by 1024 to get KB and divide again by 1024 to get MB. So 2048000 = 1.95 MB.

As mentioned, experimenting with the setting in ZC should pose no problem.

If you had some experience as a Server Admin you would understand better about the PHP file upload size determined by each Hoster. With so many people now using Forums and Blogs and allowing uploads, a negative impact on Server response can be very real indeed. Imagine how long it would take, for a Forum page to load, if people were allowed to use whatever size files they wanted.

Take many people using 10 - 50 MB avi files in their sig. file or even as a Avatar, plus 10 other people with their multi-megabyte Image files plus the person viewing has their personal settings to show 50 or 100 posts in a Forum thread. You could bake a cake in the time it would take for that page to load, let alone the negative impact other sites on that Server would also experience.
