Title: NOO the filesystem size limit is BACK!!! :cry:
Post by: moneris0 on August 22, 2008, 07:07:19 am

no!!!

the error is back again, my uTorrent is giving me errors with "File exceeds file system size limit"

the file im downloaded (legal) is of 8 GB. I already have it in my ext. HDD (500 GB) i just needed it in uTorrent for me to seed, because its low. I search it and click "Force Re-check", it goes through the checking process, as soon as it hits (Checked 0.7%) it gives that error, and all my other downloads are fine, i got a 27gb file already downloaded, and i still have 274 GB left on my hard drive.

EDIT 1: I tried downloading a much bigger file (70 GB) and its working fine im at 5%, and i stopped it as i dont need the file.

How is the external HDD formatted? If it's FAT32, the file size limit is 4GB.

And..did it work?

I usually use programs like PartitionMagic to change it, very easy :)

Im using this program too, its good, and quite fast.. But remember to make "safe disc" and backup all you have till "playing" with partitions  :D

no, it doesnt delete files.
it will convert file system from FAT32 to NTSC...

i suggest using Partition Magic to it, i did it only once (every next time i just deleted and made again partition in Windows XP installer - after boot).

to format a HD, go into My Computer, select your drive, and then Format. select your options and click start also, checkmark Quick Format, will be about 95% faster

But then its deleting all files (with "convert" it is not), and you cant format C:\ partition (or another where Windows is installed) from Windows..
