Take a look at a thread called "Apache 2.2 for FC4" created today.  It
says "Anyway, I assume you need apache for serving to non-myth boxes.
For Linux boxes I'd use NFS and for Windows Samba. Both are known to
deal properly with 4GB sized files".

Recent versions of Samba are not limited to 2GB files.
