Hi! I have a problem, I downloaded a torrent with µtorrent and when I try to launch it: "The file exceeds the size limit of the file system, this file cannot be saved correctly." (Even though the torrent is 7.42GB and I have 40GB of disk space left).
If I click 'continue', the torrent is corrupted after 5%.

What should I do to make my PC accept this torrent?
Thanks in advance!

    Hello.

    Try this before changing the disk:
    Click on Start, point to All Programs, Accessories, and then click on Command Prompt.
    At the command prompt, type the following command, where drive_letter corresponds to the letter of the drive you want to convert:
    convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs (for example: convert E: /fs:ntfs; be sure to respect the case, format, and spaces).

    Best regards.

    Hi,

    You should check the format type of your disk. If it's in FAT32, you won't be able to save files larger than 4GB.

    In the explorer, right-click on the disk/properties and look at the file system; it will show FAT32 or NTFS.

    Best regards,

    It is indeed FAT32. I just need to change the disk. Thank you!
