what is the max file size I can download from a webpage

I have a website that is running under iis 4.0 on nt 4.0.

I can download from this site, most of the files I put on it. but some files
do not download. I only get 0 bytes. this are very large files (i need to
double check their sizes)

is there a max file size that a web page can download?

TIA

Re: what is the max file size I can download from a webpage

Thanks, It looks like the limit is 2 gig.
any file I try to down load greater than 2 gig came down as Zero bits.

I have a ftp site and looked into using that.
I found a site that showed how to create hyperlink from the website to a ftp
site.
I was able to use the code in my site and it work out better than what i was
going to do. ( able to two ideas I had in one step )

Thanks again.
