Problems with files larger then 2 gig's on wget and lynx

By rose | March 11, 2010

  • I am runing fendora and for the life of me i can't fetch a 14 gig file that is currently on the web. I get file limit exceeded and it stops at 2 gigs. I am wondering what the solution is .


  • Your problem may be related to the file system that you want to store your files onto. If you use ext2 file system, the files cannot be larger than 2GB If you use FAT32 file system, the files cannot be larger than 4GB If you use ufs with default settings, the files cannot be larger than 32GB etc. HTH

  • Hello Tback99k, You don't mention which version of Fedora Core you are using (FC2?). However, this is a known problem and is described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123524 Scroll down and if you have the right version of Fedora Core, it may be possible to download an RPM that has this fixed (assuming the remote file server supports > 2 Gbyte fetches). If you don't have the right version of Fedora Core, and need help building form source, let me know so I can walk you through this. Either way - please indicate your progress in a clarification so I can follow up on this question. --Maniac
