Yes, but that would also count for 64 bit, right?

ownCloud uses a funny hack to get the actual file size of files, it 
calls the shell function stat, which is not really a cheap way but still...

Actually large files work with ownCloud, I tested with 4.3 GB. Can be 
uploaded and is displayed correctly in WI.

Also for 32 bit systems there are extensions to enable Large File 
Support for all important systems. PHP seems to support that. So, its 
not that easy.
