Hello Rob,   
      
   > Synchronet "Real Fact" #84:   
   > The ZMODEM file transfer protocol is limited to files of 4 gigabytes or   
   > smaller.   
      
   Are you sure that limit is originated by the ZModem protocol?   
      
   To me it seems that it is a Filer limit.   
   FAT has indeed a limit of 4 GigaBytes in one only file sec.   
   Please try the same with NTFS on Windows, or EXT4 under Linux.   
   Maybe you can then store and transmit/receive lager files than 4 GB?   
      
   Somewhere I have heard or read that the limit is exactly 4 GiBi Bytes   
   minus one Byte !   
   So that limit could be: 4.294.967.295 Bytes long at the max.   
   It has something to do with the minus sign or so?   
   Note 4 GiB = 4 x 1024^3 or 4 x 2^30 = 4.294.967.296 bytes.   
   See the Table of Bytes under this message.   
   Much succes in getting over this limit.   
      
   Henri.
