It would a bad idea to try and deliver such big files over CF. A file of that size would take a very long time to download, and the likelihood of the http connection being lost is very high, which means users will need to keep trying to download from scratch, as has been stated, http is not really intended for this. As I suggested previously you could use FTP which would be a much better method as downloads can be resumed. You can provide your users with an FTP link from a webpage, if you need to generate a unique ftp login for each user then this can be done via CF as well using an FTP server with an API, such as gene6 FTP or Filezilla.
