Cannot upload more than 50 Mb in Sharepoint  2003 library

I have to upload files that have more than 50mg ane i receive this error message:
The form submission cannot be processed because it exceeded the maximum length allowed by the Web administrator. Please resubmit the form with less data

I have already changed the settings in web.config with the followings steps:

1.  Use Notepad to open the Web.config file.
By default, this file is in the following location:
Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
 
2  Add the executionTimeout value that you want. For example, replace the value as follows.
Existing code
 <location path="upload.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" />
    </system.web>
  </location>
Replacement code
 <location path="upload.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <httpRuntime executionTimeout="999999" maxRequestLength="2097151" />
    </system.web>
  </location>

3.  After you change the file, click Save on the File menu.
 
4. Use Notepad to open the Web application Web.config file. By default, this file is in the following folder:
Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\VirtualDirectoryFolder
 
5.  Change the following line in the file.

Existing line
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" />
Replacement line
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="999999" maxRequestLength="51200" />

6.  After you change the file, click Save on the File menu.
 
7.   Exit Notepad.

---------------------------------

I try to do this settings but i don't find it in Wss 2003:

Go to Central Administration > Shared Services Administration > Administration Site Host (URL is listed here)
On this page, raise the limit to whatever you need (*max 2048 MBs*)
under the "Maximum Upload Size

Please do you have other workarounds for me?

Thanks
