Yes seems like a different problem from the original 2GB problem.
In the old version I saw that "StoreEntryValidLength()" had
calculation issue (long var etc…).
This is not the case now.

Strange?! I enabled the log_mime_hdrs, but there is no entry in the
access.log for the failed download operation.
To be clear the access.log is working fine and I can see other entries
with the header information.
Might relate to the problem?

Both FireFox and Wget are working fine, and the large file is being
downloaded successfully.

Anything else that might help ?
