Hmm... Apache docs mention large file support is supposed to work with 32 bit unix type OS by default. I wonder what we're missing...

I'm stumped at the moment.

I read an article a while back about Lighttpd being good (and supposedly faster than Apache as well) with handling very large file downloads. That might be something to look into. If you have a spare IP address on the same server you should be able to run it alongside apache.

Another option is using the split command to make the file smaller. Although, anyone who downloads the pieces will need to know how to reassemble them back into the original file.
