Using a high IIS timeout for file uploads

My website is for uploading of large files. We've had some 20-30 mb
uploads already. Uploads any larger caused the site to timeout
afterwards. So, am I correct that I should raise the timeout value in
IIS for the website? If so, does it matter how high I make it? Would
there be any downside from raising it from 2 minutes to an hour (3,600
seconds)? In web.config I also have MaxRequestLength="1550000" to
accomidate large upload sizes.
