If you are using ntfs then the issue is not the one I suspected. I know nothing about samba+big files, I did never use it with big files, but I haven't hear of such a problem before. I'd blame the wireless connection, but if the problem is only with that file, then that should not the be proble either. Anyway, I don't know if the winxp builtin feature supports multi part zip files, so I would bet that using split+copy would be the easiest thing to do. You can still compress it into a single zip file before splitting it, that way you might save some bandwidth (or not, since most of the dvd contents is already compressed via codecs anyway). -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
