Please note, we no longer provide 2GB split files. I do sincerely
believe, that HTTP has enough capability to do partial downloads of
files ;-)
And those splits simply double disk space requirements...
Yay. I've always been wondering what sort of people would need the split
files.
We started providing split files simply because Apache on the servers
they were running on would refuse to *serve* files larger than 2 gigabytes.
If your OS is unable to handle files of that size, you're probably going
to have problems with the database too. :)
