Share large files?

[Mr. Spiff]

I seem to have problems sharing files larger than 2GB (roughly).
I did a test, I added an empty folder and then I copied a 4.3GB .dmg image file to it. While it was beeing copied I watched from the library what happened in the added folder. I hit the update button after every 250MB. Sure enough, it showed up after a few secs, and it was still in the folder until it had reach 2GB! Then it just vanished..."Poff" and it was gone! I repeated the test 2 times with the same result.

So... Is there a 2 GB limit? If so, any way around it?
Can't find anything about it in the FAQ or the userguide.

Cheers!

Yup, there's a 2GB limit. No way around it right now. Gonna take some protocol updates to fix it. Fortunately, the updates exist, we just need to start using'm. A patch has been submitted (as part of a much larger patch) that adds support -- at some point we'll whittle away the necessary parts and add it.

Aha!

Thx for a very fast reply!

Nice to know it's nothing on my side that's causing problems for a change..

Just have to wait for the patch then. Ah well, can't be helped I guess, but please; be as quick as possible!
