Re: 4Gs of Pinball manuals - Bit torrent

Just an FYI: If you are storing the torrent to a FAT32 partition on a
windows machines, it will bomb out after it gets exactly 4 gigabytes of the
file (about 90%) because FAT32 partitions can only handle 4 gigabyte files.
Make sure you're downloading to an NTFS partition if you're using windows.

1) Go to "My Computer"
2) Right click on the drive in question.
3) Select "Properties".
4) "File System:" should say "NTFS", not "FAT32".

If you're already halfway through, all is not lost, but you need to change
your torrent saved directory to an NTFS partition, copy as much of the file
as you have to that directory, stop the torrent completely and delete it
from your torrent list and relaunch the torrent from the original weblink.
It should be able to use the data you've gotten already to kickstart the new
torrent load.
