The limit is 2GB. While you can compile apache without limit, many programs will not work correctly with larger files, and some will simply refuse to touch anything larger than 2GB (for example, squid proxy server). With some applications it is just cosmetic stuff (they display negative size), some will totally break. BTW, you should be able to serve files larger than 2GB over FTP. Actually, most CentOS mirrors that do carry DVD ISO images serve them only over FTP (I think there's only couple that serve them over HTTP too). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
