I have a set of DVD ISO images, most of which are over 4GB, which I've hosted
both on Linux and Windows servers. In each case, I've gotten calls from
Windows users (using Windows 2000 and XP) trying to download the file --
Internet Explorer consistently truncates ftp transfers at 3.99 GB. The same
file transfers just fine using SMB-style file sharing. For now, I've been
advising my customers to either download and burn the image using Linux or to
use the DOS-based command line ftp client.
Does anyone have better advice? Is Microsoft planning to fix this bug
anytime soon?
I have duplicated the behavior myself and have a screen shot I can send
which proves the existance of this bug.
