Hi!

I have on my aMule SVN from Sep 22 2008 a file bigger than 4GB (6.84GB). The file has complete sources, and I've downloaded about 60% of the file, but the file details windows says that only 244 of the 756 parts are available, which is false. I have only seen this with this file, and is the only file bigger than 4GB I'm currently downloading, so I think it's related.

Regards.

Cute! 
It's not directly related with 4GB, rather with files with more than 255 parts. Just a relic from the times when available parts could be counted in a single byte.  Hint: 244 + 2*256 == 756 .
Fixed.

Thanks Stu Redman. But then, does that means that for files bigger than about 2.5GB aMule always counted the parts wrongly? (9.25*255 is about 2.5GB) I ask because 2.5GB files have always been allowed by the emule protocol, therefore aMule should have provided this fix long time ago, since the beginning, to be exact.

Regards.

Yes. But the variable involved is only used for the display in the file detail dialog, so it's not so severe.

Since the start of supporting large files actually, before it didn't matter. Well, fixes can't be provided sooner than someone notices something is wrong.
