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/).
