There may be filesize limits you can set in your web server, php etc.
They can be changed.

The other limit is the 2GB file size limit on 32bit machines. 32bit
machines implementing LFS (Large File Summit) support, i.e any semi
recent Linux distro will not in theory have this issue. I say in theory
because applications needs to be written to handle this and the likes
of Apache and wget didn't handle >2GB files on 32bit until recently'ish

Quick overview of some things that work and don'r work.:

Of course none of this applies to 64bit.
