Re: [core-dev] Sharing files larger than 2 GBs

Hi Raphael,

You are correct that there is currently a 2GB limitation.  This is due 
to the historical nature of the Gnutella network.   A proposal already 
exists for adding support for files greater than 2GB, and we plan to 
integrate support for it in the future.  See 
http://www.the-gdf.org/wiki/index.php?title=GGEP_LF for the details.  
Integrating this would require changing various portions of our code to 
use 'longs' rather than 'ints', as well as support for recognizing and 
using the LF field in QueryHits.

Thanks,
  Sam
