I ran into this same problem recently, on OS X 10.6.6. Anyway, thank you everyone, but please provide more suggestions on what software that could possibly extract that file. I would try the Windows Vista method as stated by SuperMagic, but I need to borrow a computer for that. I guess it doesn't have large file support as well. I have tried using 'unzip', but it says End-of-central-directory signature not found. It's too late, the original copies are gone, only a large ZIP file left here.

I thought I should be able to extract the file if I could compress it. Well, I had made the wrong decision to compress the files, and it's already too late.

With or without GUI is fine. Mac's archive utility and StuffIt don't seem to support large files, and 7-Zip's command line version gave an error stating unsupported archive. I've tried Mac OS X's extract utility, StuffIt Expander, 7-Zip (command line), all failed.

I've tried many programs, but none of the programs I tried were able to extract the file.
