I have a very large file I need to read data from at certain

when seeking to 6346890680. Seeking to smaller values such as
3580720 work with no problem. The file is well over 8GB, so it
must be able to read data at positions that high.
are you on a 32 or 64 bit system?
You could try 2 or more consecutive relative seeks in place of an
absolute seek.
i.e.
File f = ... ;
f.seek(173445340 , SEEK_SET);
f.seek(173445340 , SEEK_REL);
also what does
f.seek(0,SEEK_END);
writeln(f.tell());
print?
