shufflex Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 In my house there is a computer downstairs with a 500GB external HDD. the entire HDD is available via the network, and that i where i download my torrents to. Now, whenever I try to download a torrent it will start downloading and 5 mins later it will stop saying that there is not enough space on the disk, when there is more than 400Gb free! What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 FAT32 cannot save files larger than 4GB. You will need to convert to NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Per-file limit of 4gb doesn't necessarily get hit, even with large torrents.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314097/en-us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
