Swazoo 2.x has streaming upload and download capability and can easily 
handle such big files. I tested with few GB by myself. On both Squeak 
and VW.

Maybe it is a time to add that streaming to your Swazoo adaptor too? See 
http://www.swazoo.org/streaming.html for more. See also HTTPRequestTest 
with examples, how to use it (testing-posts).
