Files this big are technically known as "large files", and on 32 bit
systems, they require special support from the operating system and
changes to the software that deals with them.  (This is because the
length of such a file is greater than can be represented by a 32 bit
integer).

To judge by my reading of the apache documentation, apache 2.0 does not
fully support large files, though 2.2 will.

Your best hope is to not use files this big - find a way of breaking
them up or compressing them.  Even if you could get apache to serve
them, you will find that much client software would choke on them
anyway.
