bodenlan2 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi everyone, i'm new to the forums but i've downloaded files via utorrent for a few days now after i got the same error from bittorrent as i now get in utorrent.It happens every time i'm trying to download big files as the one now at 12gb.At around 40% downloaded it says :(translating from swedish now so it might get a bit wrong)anyway: Error:Utorrent couldn't finish the requested file because of a limit in the filesystem.any way it seems like this only happens with big files (as stated) and I don't know how to fix it.As far as i've tried i couldn't find any way to fix this in the utorrent preferences.Soooo any help is appreciated.Thank you! EDIT: And yes i am using windows vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hard drives formatted to FAT32 type (common in Windows 98/ME) cannot store a single file larger than 4 GB.Windows 2000/XP/Vista uses NTFS format type which can handle stupid-large files, assuming you had the space for them.

Firon Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Also, if you enabled sparse files, disable the function. Then copy the files, delete the originals, and move them back in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
