How to organize the download of files (upload) more than 2 Gb?
There is a LAMP server, I want to organize the download of very large files, more than 2 Gb. If the memory limit on the server seemed to be solved by downloading the file in pieces (chunk uploading), now the issue is in the client, i.e. in the browser.
Namely, I use Plupload to upload files, and when I try to upload a file through its flash, the uploader gives a negative number in the information about the file size. The version with its html5 loader has not yet been launched.
I understand that this is a problem with a 32-bit flash plugin? But the browsers themselves are also 32-bit, sort of.
Hence 3 questions:
- Is it possible to upload a file larger than 2Gb from a 32-bit OS through a browser to the server? and from 64-bit?
- does it depend on the browser version (32/64 bits)?
- if so, where can I see examples of implementation, maybe there are ready-made plugins?

Let me answer my own question, which arose due to the strange behavior of the Yii extension, which only worked fine with the flash bootloader. Tried loading without that extension and it worked.
The answer would be: you can upload such large files using Plupload, but a 32-bit flash browser plugin will not be able to see the entire file and as an option to download, choosing the html5 option of the Plupload uploader. Does not depend on the bitness of the operating system and browser, because the browser does not load the file into memory before sending.
