chao Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi, I am downloading a file of 7Gb, while my disk drive is FAT32 and it can not have files of that size. So maybe utorrent can split the file into some smaller pieces automaticly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Converting your hard drive partition to NTFS will help this filesize limit problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chao Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yes, I know that NTFS will do. I need this feature for FAT32 disks.That computer is shared, and it has a lot of data of other people, so I should not format it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 The conversion process can be done in Win XP without erasing the data on the hard drive...however I think the drive cannot be more than maybe 80-90% full. And anytime you're constantly accessing your disk, if the computer crashes right then or power goes out you may risk losing data. I *THINK* it has some fallback method to pick up where it left off...you may want to check that before trying.Otherwise, give up downloading the 7 GB torrent if the torrent has 1 file larger than 4 GB. FAT32 simply can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 You can convert it with no data loss, unless your computer dies halfway through or something.Anyway, such a feature will -never- happen. Convert or don't download the file. That is your only choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Use a partition manager to dynamically resize your FAT32 partition to make it 8GB smaller. Now that you have 8GB free, create a new NTFS partition and format that new partition. A software like Partition Magic can do this.Or you can tell the seeder to re-seed with files chopped into smaller file sizes. Seriously, I've never heard of anyone seeding one big file that is 7GB. Even DVD-DL have multiple VOB files that are 1GB each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyfrog Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I would not, at all, recommend partitioning a Windows drive with a FAT32 primary and NTFS secondaries -- you're just begging for irrecoverable data-loss at some bad luck date in the future.Seriously, I've never heard of anyone seeding one big file that is 7GB.Why, shee-oot; them thar 24gb HD files will swallow up a puny l'il 7gb without even having to chew.
