Issues with downloading 3.99 GB

Post by Zalle78 »

Hello!

I'm having issues with my downloading, but I'm not sure if it's sabnzbd that's the issue or not. I snatch files from Couchpotato and download on Sabnzbd. The file (i.e. a MKV file) is 4.6 GB, and Sab says it's downloaded and OK, but on my harddrive it's only downloaded 3.99 GB (the exact number on explorer says 4194288 byte). THis means that the end of all the movies disappear.

WHen I play the movie in VLC it plays well until it dies. The movie says it's i.e. 2 hours, but dies after i.e 1h50min.

I've tried to view this issue online but can't find anyone with the same issue. Anyone here that knows what it might be?

Which file system are you using?
On Windows, the old FAT and FAT32 cannot store files larger than 4G.
Make sure you're using NTFS.

aha, thanks. I'm using an external harddrive and that's a FAT32. I solve it by storing it on the computer first. Thanks!
