I am using aMule 2.1.3 on Mandriva 2006.  I would like future releases of aMule to be able to handle files larger than 4 GB size if possible.

Thanks

Work in progress, will be released when finished.

Well, if you don't mind using the development version of aMule, you could use aMule CVS, which already supports files bigger than 4GB. But if there are no packages you would have to compile them.

Just compiled the CVS version from Sept 22nd.  Still reports error message "invalid file size" when I try to download files >4 GB.

I've testet CVS 20060917+24 and it works. It did work with earlier versions (more than 2 months ago) as well.

Could be please execute amule -iwouldmarrymymule --version ? If you want to, please send me the ed2k-link to your file via PM so that I could test it.

I am using mandriva 2006 with a cvs snapshot from Setember 17 of amule and it works with files larger than 4 GB on a ext3 filesystem.
Does your filesytem have support for files larger than 4GB?
What type of filesystem do you have?
Can you post the output:
cat /etc/fstab

Cheers....

This is the output of the command 'amule -iwouldmarrymymule --version':
[user@host amule-cvs]$ amule -iwouldmarrymymule --version
Usage: aMule [-v] [-h] [-i] [-geometry ] [-d] [-o] [-r]
  -v, --version         Displays the current version number.
  -h, --help            Displays this information.
  -i, --enable-stdin    Does not disable stdin.
  -geometry:       Sets the geometry of the app.
                        uses the same format as standard X11 apps:
                        [=][{xX}][{+-}{+-}]
  -d, --disable-fatal   Does not handle fatal exception.
  -o, --log-stdout      Print log messages to stdout.
  -r, --reset-config    Resets config to default values.
Unknown option 'wouldmarrymymule'

I am sure the ed2k-link is working, because I tried it with different links that I know works for other people.  The common thing in all these links is the file size >4 GB.

For the next post on this threat here is the etc/fstab; and yes I am using Mandriva 2006 with a home partition formatted to ext3!:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/sda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=utf8,ro 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda9 /mnt/win_d vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda7 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb5 /video ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb6 /yedek ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

 I downloaded the CVS version I compiled from the following link:
http://www.amule.org/files/download.php?file=5

Thanks,

OK, I'm pretty sure that the output of amule --version will tell you that you're still using aMule 2.1.3.

Try to execute /usr/local/bin/amule -iwouldmarrymymule in order to start the real aMule CVS.

What happend? (probably...) you've two amule-executables: one located in /usr/bin (aMule 2.1.3) and another in /usr/local/bin (aMule CVS). When you type amule the system will execute the one in /usr/bin, which is aMule 2.1.3 without support for files >4GB.

I feel like an idiot.  Thanks for the illumination.  I actually have'nt installed after compilation.  Now I am running it from the src directory as ./amule -iwouldmarrymymule and yes it downloads files >4 GB.

Bunch of thanks again

Nevermind. I'm glad everything works now.
