I've been trying to download a large programme (around 6GB) and it
barfs at the 4GB point using win7x64.
I remembered I had this problem last year with some large Wimbledon
programmes and the only solution that worked then was using a Linux
installation (at that time Linux Mint-16 32 bit. Only problem is that
the PC I was using then is no longer alive, so it's been a case of
installing Linux (Mint-17.1 64 bit) onto a different PC. Oh boy, I now
remember why I loathe Linux so much, it's like pulling teeth without
anaesthetic..... :-(
Sorted it... when I tried the CL to install rtmpdump along with the
other utils, I got an error message saying ffmpeg wasn't available but
I'd assumed it had installed everything else. Oh no, it hadn't but it
never told me that! Perhaps I need to be a mind reader? Anyway, once I'd
removed ffmpeg from that CL it installed the other programmes.
And now it seems to be working fine.....
For about 9 years, I taught adults how to use PCs and based on these
experiences, Linux will never make it in the big world out there,
bearing in mind most ordinary computer users fall into the "permanently
bewildered" camp. Anyway, onwards....
