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

Thank you for such a quick response. Thats what I figured. I thought
there might be a remote chance Limewire had an internal project that
dealt with larger files. I will be more than glad to help in bringing
this sort of functionality to limewire's suite. Please keep me
posted.Thanks again.

Cheers,
 Raphael
