Hi everyone;
I'm currently evaluating the sporadic file transfer errors with files bigger than 2GiB. Did any of you (and with what client/version) have had a full and successful transfer of files "big" files?
I tried a huge variety of file DL/UL (as sender and receiver) and really non worked or even start when bigger than 2GiB. Some big (16GB) files did start, but brake up when reaching a filesize minus multiples of 2GiB. thanks to the Admiral I'd plenty of time to test it.
I already tried Linux (32 + 64bit) and Windows (x86) with SLSK native and Nicotine+ (based on Linux64) and all showed the same problems with Files bigger 2GiB.
I created a file 2GiB minus 1 Byte (which works) and 2GiB plus 1 Bytes (which did not work (UL nor DL via user). I created files up to 32GiB+/- 1 Byte, but 2GiB was already the max. I'd not conclude why some bigger files start, but brake up (waiting-aborting, waiting-aborting,...). The (uploading) client shows "file not found" (share is of course updated before). Under cli Linux I get a message "file size <0 Byte" when DL a big file.
I checked different clients (feb+June 2015 releases), different Linux architectures and nicotine versions. So all shows a protocol (stack overflow) problem, and according to the cli message big files show a negative (<0Bytes) value. The filesystem (NTFS, ext4, btrfs) is never the limit.
As (C) Programmer I'm very interested and why it's (still) there?
Cheers
