Thanks for reporting this issue, and thanks for the reproducible test case. Can you quickly confirm for me the version of Apache you're talking to on Port 127.0.0.1? IIRC, Apache 1.x has a known limit of 4GB despite it's HTTP 1.1 'compliance'
If you're using apache 2 and greater, then this may well be a bug in NSURLDownload (though the fact that it works with other servers is intriguing).

This doesn't seem to happen when using other servers. Also Safari seems to be able to download the file just fine. The client is using 10.6.2. I've tried web sharing on the local machine (127.0.0.1 and 10.6.2) and also on a remote machine using 10.5.8. I've written a simple tool to test this that looks like:
