Good question John. I checked all the US Fedora http mirrors listed on fedora.redhat.com to see what they provided. Only 3 sites provide the DVD image via http: 1) driven by tux and reports the DVD iso as 2GB (which is wrong) 2) driven by apache-1.3.27 and does not report the size at all 3) driven by ? and reports the right size afaict I think this answers the question. Hardly anybody is serving files >2GB via http. Probably because currently Apache can't do it and it has an enormous market share. Nevertheless I would love to see Apache support >4GB files.
