There seems to be a problem with IIS 6.0 where I can't download a file greater than 4GB through HTTP. FTP works fine but when I go through HTTP, it gives me an error like the files doesn't exist.

That KB is for an ASP.net application related fault, I do not have this problem.
The KB also states transfing data TO the server, not FROM it.
It also states that SP1 for server has fixed the issue and I'm running R2 with SP2.
