Thank goodness for the talents of John Mitchell - this has been a problem for months..
He has a fix for it..
Check this post out..
I think at 50mb you're going to struggle though - you will need to check your web.config file for extended time out.
When I've got sites I'm deploying using this method, I often have to log onto the server, eg. I'm about to deploy a Catalook store with about 4,000 products built locally on a slick supercharged build of DNN, but it's about 30mb of files and I have to log onto the server and manually do this.
Good luck!

If it's on DNN, I fix, build, deploy, support,skin, host, design, consult, implement, integrate and done since 2003.

Thanks a lot for the fix !!! I do not have the error message.
But could you please explain a little bit what you call "log onto the server and manually do this" ???
Because when using this "template thing", it does not change my skin, nor does it recover my text, modules, etc...
I just recover the menu, that's all....

Well, I own several servers, host many, many DNN sites, and it is in my experience with utilising the wizard function, if you have a large site, it times out when doing this logged in as administrator.
I have to log in remotely and do this, using Terminal Services, access the site in a web fashion, like I would be doing in my office, but without the transfer time.
What happens is that it times out, it sometimes stops the application pool, half of it gets done only, tabs, pages and content are missing, and you try this several times and finally you work out - the file is too big to to the unzip transaction, create the tabs and link it all together.
This is only my experience, but I do large site management and migration, and I love the way the site wizard works, but I have also found this happen on many occasions, so if the resources file is too big, I ftp it up and then log onto the server and do this.
If you have a 50mb resource file, if you were to change the .resources to .zip you would be able to see it's the contents of your website, that is what I think takes the longest time to unzip and fails when working with larger sites using this method.
This is just my opinion.

Since I do not recover module, text, etc..., I think that it is because I do not put the file where it should be.
The big one 'dv-empty.template.resources' must be put in which folder ???

Ok Nina, I understand... Since I am on a share hosting environment, I have to redo everything by hand, that's awfull... That's strange, when using the template wizard, it is not that long, and I do not have any timeout error message or so... I just have only a part of my web (without skin, module, etc...).
:-(
I have to re-do everything by hand, that's awfull..... If you have another idea (with a share hosting provider), I am ready to try it.
If I already unzip the file, may it help ??
