Considering that dumps.wikimedia.org serves files in excess of 100 GB, I don't think HTTP the protocol is the issue. However when you try to request the file (or even just do a HEAD request) the web server closes the connection before sending any data, suggesting its a web server issue, not an HTTP the protocol issue.

No comments on that?

Hi
I tried to provide a download link to a complete OSM Render Stack in a Virtual Machine on the toolserver. The files are located at /mnt/user-store and symlinked into my public_html.
This works for the small files (md5sums) but the 3.1G VMDK File is not accessible: http://toolserver.org/~mazder/osm_vm/
Is it possible to serve such a large file via http?
