Switeck Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Do you have a lot of files on your hard drive/s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Are you on 1.8? Is the partition NTFS or FAT32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Convert your storage partition to NTFS.FAT32 has a per-file limit of 4GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirshadow Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Damn, and how can I do that? It's safe because that partition is an external 1TB HDD...it's lot of data there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaporfox99 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm having the same problem. Now I've been using uTorrent since build 1.2 and I've never had this problem before. It keeps telling me "error: file exceeds filesystem size limit", but the files that are having this error are in the 5-12GB range, yet I have two files in the 30-80GB range downloading right above them. I've tried resetting them, moving the download to locations, changing all the settings listed in the setup faqs, yet they still won't budge. I am running a FAT32 filesystem on my external WD 1TB HDD, but why would this problem only happen now, after years of downloading large files (far above 20GB a piece) would this happen? Suggestions for fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 but why would this problem only happen now, after years of downloading large files (far above 20GB a piece) would this happen?20gb batches aren't the same as 20gb files.The old torrents you WERE doing probably were batches of 300mb files.

vaporfox99 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Honestly, I only half understand what you're saying. I mean, I understand the batch vs. file, however, I don't get how that applies here, sorry for my ignorance. I currently am downloading a complete TV series (from Helsinki) it's brand new, all the episodes, I started it stored to the same place on my HDD as I always did, it's 62.9GB, it's downloading fine (a little slower than I like but minor detail.) The next day I start my new OS's download, the Windows 7 x64. It's 10.2GB, but it gives me this error. Could you please shine more light on topic? Thank you.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 tl;dr one of the files in the torrent that is failing is larger than 4gb, but none of the files in the torrents that work are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporfox99 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yes sir, there is one file that is 5.52GBs, so how can I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
