Ok... I can remember that I also had problems to import ACP files bigger than 2GB because there was a bug in the Java @zip lib (Alfreco 3/4). Maybe this is a hardcoded limit due to this old Java 6 (?) bug. Also some clients (windows WebDAV) have a default restriction of 2GB - maybe ‌ knows more.

alfresco-global.properties can be in your custom module (yourModule/alfresco/module/alfresco-global.properties) and <TomcatHomr>/shared/classes directory.

you can make changes at any of these locations.
