Problem: Download file over 4GB via apache

hello guys,
I installed apache 2.2.8 on my server.
When I try to download a DVDISO (4.36GB)
It stopped after downloading 386,990,080 bytes(396mb).
But It can be resume in FTP mode……
So, what's the problem?

This is a reply I had to give one of our web guys that I researched a year or so ago. I am not sure if it is still an issue. It may be a compile time option with apache.

Code:

We are running apache2.0 which is actually capable of serving

up to a 4gB file if configured correctly at compile time, the standard

compile limits file size to 2gB. The issue is that apache keeps track

of byte position with "int" and the biggest number a 4byte unsigned

integer can hold is 4gB.

With that newer version of apache, try to get the file using wget to determine if it is a client issue.
