Description Jan Klesnil 2004-12-08 04:05:13 UTC

When downloading file larger then 2GB transfer hangs when downloaded size of MAX_INT32 value is reached. If d4x is recompiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in CXXFLAGS, everything works well.

This page has more information on problem with large files and Unix file API: http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start d4x
2. download DVD image of Fedora Core 3
3. you won't get over 87%

Actual Results:  
stalled download, d4x trying to resume the download but fails with "Can't write
file!"

Expected Results:  
complete the task
