I gave it a shot myself with my own machine using Iceape browser and I
also see the size as around 132 MB. I am trying from a Debian Testing
machine (ext3 partition).
Here is the request I see if I try using wget:
.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 138256384 (132M) [application/x-tar]
So something is messed with the server. How do I go about checking what?
I am also not an expert in Apache, so this is about as far as I can take
you. You should probably scan the Apache documentation for options
pertaining to big, large, or huge files. (Or perhaps they are more
technical and use the phrase 32-bit or 4G.) While you are doing that I'd
hit an apache-specific list (and hope someone better versed replies here)
with your query.
If you don't get any (more) traction on the mailing lists and are fairly
sure your setup is correct, so ahead and file a bug (if one doesn't already
exist).
Well, I split the tar file to smaller chunks of 680M each (using the
split command).
$ split -d -b 680M /tmp/datafile.tar datfile
Now I am able to download the files successfully from the apache server
machine using wget. Apache reports the correct size now of Length:
713031680 (680M)
The only problem is that the remote user uses Windows and will need a
method to join them together back to the tar file. In Linux, one would
just cat them together. In Windows, I have searched google and found the
following will work on a command prompt:
copy /b datfile* datafile.tar /b
where datfilenn are the split files. This was from:
http://elliottback.com/wp/combine-split-files-in-windows/
The tar file then can be opened by using 7-zip in Windows.
