Re: [freenet-chat] how to move lots of files online?

2001-10-10 Thread David McNab
One major problem is the current limitation in freenet 0.4 which, while it consolidates its data store into a single file, can only work with one such file. Most operating systems and java interpreters can only support 2GB files. This results in a severe restriction which IMO *must* be

Hi all, I've checked into CVS a new version of the fcptools (freenet CVS, in Contrib/fcptools), which now supports auto-splitting of all inserted files. Since auto-split is implemented completely in the ezFCPlib library layer, all client software which uses fcpPutKeyFromFile() will
