Henk,

Can your mirror serve > 2GB files.

The apache version needs to be >= 2.2 or newer versions of lighttpd to do so normally.

That is one reason why we have two trees.

A common workaround that is often mentioned on Fedora's mirror-list is to redirect .iso downloads to ftp URLs. Even if your http server can support > 2GB files, some http clients cannot (old wget for example). Here is the Apache config we use:

RedirectMatch 301 /(.*.iso)$ ftp://<hostname>/$1 RedirectMatch 301 /(.*/iso/*)$ ftp://<hostname>/$1

(replace <hostname> with your FTP server's hostname)
