Out of curiousity, do the current major web browsers all still fail a download when one reaches 4GB? I recall running into that issue last year somewhere. Probably downloading full Linux distros. I know I could successfully get files that large via torrent.

Um... it'd be a lot faster to download them via bittorrent anyway... I wouldn't see why you would want to do anything different.

Nope. You're thinking of FAT32 limitations.

Still, 4GB is pretty big (Try getting debian's dvds) so use a download manager anyway

Who is that comment directed toward? I run NTFS, as my original post implies.

Some browsers have had problems downloading files >4GB in the past.
