Re: All Large (~3GB+) Files Download Corrupt This might be a really dumb question, but you are using a file system that supports file sizes larger than 4GB? Given that none of your OS testing worked, I'm guessing the file system is an unlikely culprit, but it's all i could think of. |

East Northport, NY | There are no dumb ideas! Yes, they all support large files. I can download huge files over things like bit torrent no problem (because the files come in small, verified pieces). It's only large, single files that break.
I don't think it's any sort of time out on Verizon's end because I can sometimes download these huge files faster than smaller files (ex. a 3GB file from Microsoft at 42Mbps vs a 150MB file from some random website at 500Kbps) and even though the connection is open just as long or longer for the small file, it arrives intact. |
