Description Ryan Newberry 2005-05-04 16:47:40 UTC

If I try to upload a file >2GB in size, GAIM will upload a few hundred KB of the file, then stop sending saying the transfer is complete. Those receiving the file get an incomplete useless file. This strikes me as being connected to the max size of a 32-bit signed integer. I'm not sure why this is a problem on a 64-bit system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to upload a file >2GB size
2.
3.

I just wanted to add that I'm using ReiserFS 3.6, so the file system shouldn't be the issue.

Which protocol are you using?

There is indeed a 2GB file size limit in the OSCAR protocol.  How gaim handles this, however, is indeed a bug.  I do not currently see a bug filed upstream.  Would you please file a bug upstream on gaim failing to detect the max file size for file transfer?
