tokens Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi, i'm trying to download a large file, 4GB. Initially, I don't have sufficient disk space. Subsequently, I've made sufficient disk space (9+GB). However, utorrent still persists in this message. I've 2 partitions, C and D, both running on XP fat32. C now has 6+GB, and D has 9+. D drive is my target download location.I've set disk.sparse to true, hoping it will download in pieces. However still no deal. Oddly, another 4GB torrent also gives me the same error. Also, I've tried restarting utorrent, restarting PC and such. Nothing works. My D drive is highly fragmented. Would that be the cause for ut's inability to download?Hope I'm clear in my post. Would appreciate if someone knowledgeable could help. I'm using ut 1.6.1, build 490. This is the first time i've ran into this error. And I've doubled-checked that the OS reports the 9+GB filesize.----------------------------------------------------edit:Forgot to add that I've also tried to use C drive to download the torrent. It's also no go, even though there's 6+GB in it.I've subsequently loaded a 200MB torrent. It works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 No it's not.FAT32 has a HARD per-file limit of 4gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 No.Single files of larger than 4gb don't work on FAT32 filesystem drives.DC++ is most likely splitting the file to 4GB segments.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyel_c2001 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 yap you're wright.i finish down from utorrent and i try to copy from ntfs to fat32 and here is the conclusion:"not enough disk space".so i ahve to convert fat32 to ntfs.bye bye!
