Error: File Exceeds Filesystem Size limit (Write to disk)

Recommended Posts

I have tried using 3.2, 3.2.1, & 3.3 and it makes no difference it doe's the same thing in all of them.

Anytime I try to download something over 4 GB I get this message :

Error: File Exceeds Filesystem Size limit (Write to disk)

Anything under 4 GB works fine no problems. I am storing all my torrents and finished torrents to my exterior harddrive which is 500 GB and has at least 350 GB empty.

I'm kinda new at using torrents, but I don't see anything in the options program that will help.

Is there a way to change the file system size limit ? I would appriciate any help anyone could give.

THANK YOU

FIRST OF ALL, KEEP IN MIND THAT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ->WILL<- WIPE YOUR DEVICE CLEAR, SO MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ANYTHING YOU NEED FIRST!

Now, there are 2 possible cases.

Case 1: Problem lies with a secondary hard drive or a removable flash drive.

Namely, any drive you don't boot from. Things are quite easy here, right click on the drive's icon in your "Computer", then choose "Format". A popup window will appear that looks like this:

Notice the second choice, "File System". Yours will say FAT32. Change that to NTFS and hit "Start". It will take some time. Notice that on some old OS and/or flash drives, "NTFS" option may not be there. In this case check this utility: http://download.cnet.com/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool/3000-2094_4-10974082.html

Case 2: Problem lies with your primary hard drive.

That's the drive that also contains your operating system. Bad news here. You got to get through a format and then an OS re-installation. You'll need to find your operating system installation disc, reboot, hit F8 as soon as your screen goes on and then choose "Boot from CD/DVD". Hit any key when asked and after some time you're in the installation menu. The rest may vary a bit, based on which OS you're using, but at some point you'll be asked where you want to install your OS. Note here that since Windows Vista, windows installations format on NTFS by default. If you run windows XP, something like the following will appear:

Pick your primary drive there and hit D. That will delete your partition and turn it to unpartitioned space. Now hit C to get to the format screen:

Choose the highlighted option and it's ready. Now finish the rest of the installation and you're good to go.
