financialwar Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 I just bought a San Disk 64GB micro sd card formatted into ntfs and mounted to my SGS2 using NTFSSD. Which means I should have no problem downloading movies larger 4GB since it is ntfs not fat32.I tried to download Skyfall BluRay, which is 6.55 GB, but I am getting error "file exceeds filesystem size limit", at first I thought it must be something wrong with my sd card, since it is the first time I tried to download something this large onto my card. Downloading movies 2GB is size is successful.Then I tried TTorrent client, which is downloading the movie with no such error. So it would be nice if uTorrent can fix this issue asap as I am planning to get a 1080p Android phone this year watch BluRay movies.Thanks.
financialwar Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 another suggestion is to add more information in the notification drop down menu like TTorrent. Good luck.

Which means I should have no problem downloading movies larger 4GB since it is ntfs not fat32.The fact that you're still getting the error indicates that NTFSSD is not reporting that the device is actually NTFS through the operating system hooks. This is NOT a bug in uTorrent.

This is NOT a bug in uTorrent.if it is NOT a bug in uTorrent, then how come TTorrent is downloading the same torrent on the exact same hardware, the same sd card, mounted the same method, at the same time, with no issue?
DreadWingKnight Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Because TTorrent doesn't do the check and just assumes that it can download the file.
DreadWingKnight Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 This problem also comes up with apple brand network attached storage when dealing with windows machines. The time capsule reports the filesystem of the drive as FAT32 even if the filesystem has capabilities similar to NTFS.
financialwar Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 So does that mean for those of us who want to want BluRay movies on our Android phones using ntfs, uTorrent is not an option?
DreadWingKnight Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Not necessarily, you're going to need to use a mounting application that causes the filesystem to be reported properly.
financialwar Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 ThanksI will seek XDA for other advice on this issue.
Davste Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 ThanksI will seek XDA for other advice on this issue.Did you solve this? Sorry I opened a new thread before I found this one...
financialwar Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Posted February 18, 2013 ThanksI will seek XDA for other advice on this issue.Did you solve this? Sorry I opened a new thread before I found this one...No, XDA closed my thread straight away claiming it is a violation of their piracy policy.May you can open another thread there just about mounting SD card probably.Anyways, I couldn't wait so I bought the Pro version of tTorrent to remove the DL speed limit, the app is so much better uTorrent Android (in it's current state), so this issue does not bother me any more since I have abandoned uTorrent Android altogether.To Uttorent Android devs: why not just remove the check like tTorrent?
DreadWingKnight Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Because not all storage media is formatted in exfat.
Davste Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Because not all storage media is formatted in exfat.Seriously. I too have moved to TTorrent and even my friends and dad after I told them that it's uTorrent stopping you from downloading bigger files, not your file system. All of them have 32GB or 64GB Micro SD cards formatted to exFat. The check doesn't seem to be working all that well on Galaxy S2s and S3s.
DreadWingKnight Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Removing the check is out of the question.Updating the check to deal with EXFat isn't as far out of the realm of possibility.
Davste Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Removing the check is out of the question.What about an option? Something like "Do not perform filesystem check", and by default it's unticked?Anyway, up to you. I'm pretty happy with TTorrent now and I don't think I'm going back, even though I really liked uTorrent.
DreadWingKnight Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Nope. The check stays, because EXFat isn't used extensively enough to warrant it.
