2GB limit on files ?

[Kevin Krieser]

What program did you use to try to download it?

I haven't had much problem since the era of the 2.2 kernel when, even
though the kernel supported larger files, many programs hadn't been
updated yet to support them.

The funny thing is that I am using Reiserfs that came with the Fedora 
CD's. I thought that Reiserfs would support this. Is there possibly a 
switch for this ????

Cheers,
