NOO the filesystem size limit is BACK!!! :cry:

[moneris0]

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.

[moneris0]

it is!

omg how do i format it to NTFS without deleting my files.?

[moneris0]

nevermind i used google..

i used

convert F: /fs:ntfs

in cmd ..

[Marc2984]

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

Wait, did it not deleted the files?

[FlameMan]

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..
