bittorrent 4.0 handling file larger then 4.0 gbyte?
Hi!
I am using bittorrent 4.0 in Slackware-current. Is the slackware-current package compiled to be able to handle files larger then 4.0gbyte? I was downloading a file which states 3.99gbyte on Azureus. But at 92.4% Azureus keep on crashing. So I kick up btdownloadcurses.py. As bittorrent verify my file, it will crash after 2/3 gbyte(not sure, wasn't observing) and the error given was file is too large. However, I managed to finish downloading the file with Azureus in Mac Os X. Wondering, whether there is a switch/option during complation time to handle super large files. |
the bittorrent package is a noarch package, so there was no
compile, it is just a big script. Open it up and snoop around, or go to bittorrent homepage and find out. Or perhaps you downloaded a corrupted copy, check the md5sum with the original. -tank |
Thanks for the info.
Now you are throwing more light to it. So the bittorrent scripts are phyton scripts. That means phyton can't handle file larger then 3-4gbyte? I thought that my partial downloaded copy was corrupted, but I can continue the download in Mac Os X using Azureus. And the file is in perfect condition (finished). |
Sigh, I realize that it is nothing to do with file size. I am getting that error now even though the download file is like 700mbyte and 300+mbyte
The exact error I get is [21:18:41] IO Error [Errno 27] File too large And my Azureus have been crashing as well. :( Anything wrong with my Slackware? |
Just curious, what is the partition filesystem where you downladed the > 4GB file ?
|
All my filesystem are ext3.
Does it have to do with disc cache? How can I clear the disc cache without rebooting? Azureus and bittorrent crash at the any downloads, but seeding only is ok. |
I am having the exact same issue
"IO Error [Errno 27] File too large"
Hello, I'm having the exact same issue with more than one torrent file. Now I am currently running ext3 root filesystem, but I am downloading to an ntfs partition via SMB. After the torrent does the initial file check and begins to download, it gets killed with this error. Its a 3GB file approximately 70% complete. I am currently using python 2.4.2. I thought at first the problem lay within Python itself, so I ended up recompiling python for large file support. And I am still getting this error, does the problem actually lie with python? Was there any resolution you came to for this issue? |
