Mr. Spiff is flying high
Default Share large files?

I seem to have problems sharing files larger than 2GB (roughly).
I did a test, I added an empty folder and then I copied a 4.3GB .dmg image file to it. While it was beeing copied I watched from the library what happened in the added folder. I hit the update button after every 250MB. Sure enough, it showed up after a few secs, and it was still in the folder until it had reach 2GB! Then it just vanished..."Poff" and it was gone! I repeated the test 2 times with the same result.

So... Is there a 2 GB limit? If so, any way around it?
Can't find anything about it in the FAQ or the userguide.

Cheers!
