Large (over 10GB) file
reddit / irc

Trying to dl a file that is larger than 10 gb.  Transfer window will
only show 4 gb as the file size so when it gets to 4 gb I have to
start the transfer over.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?  Am using
XChat.

​

Edit:  I might add that as long as the file hasn't been over 15 gb,
after enough restarts I can eventually get the whole thing with no
file errors.  Feels like I had a similar issue with MIRC back in the
day as well.

1, xchat is insecure. only uses SSLv3, no fancy new stuff like tls.

2, has not been updated since 2010, so who knows what kind of bugs it
has.

I would suggest using HexChat, its a fork with many bug fixes and new
features.

Nope, all drives are formatted NTFS.

Well, so far I see the entire file size, and a more realistic ETA.
Problem likely solved!

XChat can't support that large of a file. You need to grab a client
with no transfer limit, there's a few that are CLI (command line
interface) only such as irssi, ircII/EPIC, BitchX, weechat and
ScrollZ.

As far as I know there are only a couple GUI clients that don't limit
transfers, which depends on the operating system you're running
because most GUI clients aren't universal across OS.

Best of luck to you.

can someone tell me why my Tranfers sometimes get cancelled with the
message (connection reset by peer) ?
