Well, I split the tar file to smaller chunks of 680M each (using the split command). $> split -d -b 680M /tmp/datafile.tar datfile Now I am able to download the files successfully from the apache server machine using wget. Apache reports the correct size now of Length: 713031680 (680M) The only problem is that the remote user uses Windows and will need a method to join them together back to the tar file. In Linux, one would just cat them together. In Windows, I have searched google and found the following will work on a command prompt: copy /b datfile* datafile.tar /b where datfilenn are the split files. This was from: http://elliottback.com/wp/combine-split-files-in-windows/ The tar file then can be opened by using 7-zip in Windows. -- Please reply to this list only.
