GAldana94 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hello everyone I am new to the torrent world(and I'm not really that much of an expert on the whole computer thing) and when I was downloading files on my new mac( version 10.13.6), I originally couldn't save files to my external hard drive. I googled around and it said that it was because I need to format my hard drive to FAT32 format. So I did, and it worked!! The only problem is that FAT32 is an objectively terrible way to format your hard drive, mostly because I can't save files that are bigger than 5 GB. My question is, do you need to save your Utorrent files on FAT32? If not, how can I change so I can save files on my hard drive on different formats? As you can see, I am terrible at this and I would greatly appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 You can't save any torrent with an individual file over 4GB on FAT32 drives. PERIOD. You need to either split them or compress them. Doing either is beyond the scope of what is handled on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAldana94 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks for the answer! Can I change something in Utorrent so that I can save files on hard drives that are not FAT32 formatted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's under (Options>)Preferences>Directories. i.e. Point uTorrent to your NTFS formatted hard disk drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
