So far 4 gig seems to be the cut off. I have tested files between 2 and 4gig and they seem to work well. But when I try greater than 4gig, it doesn't work. According to a sniffer trace, it is now reporting the correct content length (with the fix to split the file into multiple buckets), but the browser reports that the file size is the difference between 4gig and the actual file size. I am starting to think that it is now a browser issue rather than the Apache server. Both IE and Netscape browsers report the file size as being the difference between the actual file size and 4gig. The Galeon browser just says that the file is 2 gig. Has anybody downloaded a file greater that 4 gig and which browser did you use?

You only need to test a file larger than 2gig. This is because file offset is a signed integer, so the maximum file offset is 2^31 = 2gig on systems without large file support. Wan-Teh
