It refuses to download, it remains "idle". Anyone know what to do with it?


Hal 9000, what operating system do you run ?
If it's Windows, which version ?
If it's 2000 or XP, which filesystem type -- NTFS or FAT32 ?

That torrent consists of a single file, larger than 4GB. It ain't gonna fly on a FAT32 file system partition.

Sharing is nice, and Rikter is a nice guy for sharing, but if he insists on using RAR for surprise
I wish he'd consider splitting the RAR into smaller 1GB chunks.
You won't see any 4GB VOB files. VOBs are split into 1GB chunks for exactly the same reason--
because >4GB files are unfriendly, and unusable with certain OS/filesystems.

Fear not Hal, if worse comes to worse I'm in KC
