Large file problem
It doesn't seem the patches to support 2GB files works on Windows. Wget hangs indefinitely at the end of transfer. E.g. \wget.exe ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nt.gz --05:38:54-- ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nt.gz = `nt.gz' Resolving ftp.ncbi.nih.gov... 130.14.29.30 Connecting to ftp.ncbi.nih.gov|130.14.29.30|:21... connected. Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! == SYST ... done.== PWD ... done. == TYPE I ... done. == CWD /blast/db/FASTA ... done. == PORT ... done.== RETR nt.gz ... done. Length: 3,920,316,626 (unauthoritative) 100%[==] 3,920,316,626 190.04K/sETA 00:00 hangs I have no idea what's causing this. Windows TaskManager show that wget is idle; # of allocations and page-faults are constant. The resulting .gz file is okay though. MingW 3,7 + gcc 3.3.1 Gisle V. # rm /bin/laden /bin/laden: Not found

Is there a way to trace what syscall Wget is stuck at? Under Cygwin I can try to use strace, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to repeat the bug. There is strace for Win-NT too. But I dare not install it to find out. PS. it is quite annoying to get 2 copies of every message. Also, there should be a Reply-to: header so the replies goes to the list. Just my 0.02 . --gv

I know that, but stdio is not necessarily tied to off_t anyway -- except for fseek/ftell, which had to be modified into fseeko/ftello (exceot on Windows) anyway. According to google, others have used stdio for large files with some success.

I'll try to remember to edit the headers to leave your private address out. Also, there should be a Reply-to: header so the replies goes to the list. Just my 0.02 â.¬. There shouldn't IMHO, because then replies intended to be private end up on the list, which is really really bad.
