2GB file limit

I find that there is a limit of 2GB on the size of file to be listed in a web directory if directory listing is enable in the web server settings. If a file is bigger than 2GB, it can not be shown in the directory through http access. I guess this is the reason why Fedora Core and Centos mirror sites which distribute DVD iso images can only be accessed by FTP. As far s I know, this problem will not be overcome in the coming new releases of Apache.
