Hi, Apache 2.2.2 has been released. Maybe someone can pack this version for mirror site administrators? This version supports the "Large File Support" feature to handle files larger than 2GB. (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html)
In order to provide uses to download DVD-iso files, we use lighttpd (http://www.lighttpd.net/) as the HTTP server. It has "Large File Support " support. If your site is based on CentOS, you can get the lighttpd package through DAG repository (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/).

Maybe i'm saying something stupid, but maybe a thttpd sitting on a non-standard port with a mod_rewrite rule in apache would do the trick ?
Yes, you are right, I just want to know if anyone was not thinking about recompiling the apache wth largefile support - that will be the best solution for me as admin ( = no additional work necessary). If not, I will go the second way - the lightweight web server and redirection.
rebuilding apache with the largefile support breaks the api - so you need to then rebuild everything down the line that needs or might need or uses apache too - php, mod_python, mod_dav_svn mod_perl, mod_ssl and their dep chains.....
so, i am not sure if thats something i'd recommend or even try to do for myself.
