hi! guys, this is nasty! i remember during my University days when I was sysadim, we use to download files with sizes 4.4GB (e.g. iso images in DVD format). is done with a breeze. Now, when i do: wget -c http://some-some-site/dvd/<platform>/<some-dvd-iso-format.iso
after fetching 4.0GB i get an error: File Size Exceeded (core dumped). after googlling a bit i saw that this is not the only case. note that i am doing this on a network that has on restrictive policies inplaced. meaning "download to your hearts content"! issuing the command ulimit doesn't help at all. 1) is there any thing from the group who have learned to overcome this problem? 2) is this a sort of version issue? a bug on the tcp/ip stack? 3) test where done on debian40r0, debian40r1, ubuntu6.06,ubuntu7.04, ubuntu7.10,SLES10. anyone from the list who could provide me an indepth understanding or some idea on what's causing this issue? is there a policy placed to the internet infrastructure? which limits such fetching activities? -- Ronald Allan V.
