Description of problem: curl does not have Large File Support. curl cannot save/download files over 2G. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): curl-7.10.6-4.1 How reproducible: Always Additional info: Like wget, LFS will be difficult to implement in curl. It is needed though.
I selected i386 from the list, but don't see it in the bug report. LFS is only an issue on 32bit systems.
this is not something that can be solved by a simple option to configure, unfortunately. (while this is a valid bug, its useful to point out that if you're receiving/sending a file greater than 2 gigs, you probably shouldn't be using http/https/ftp)
I was only getting 22 bytes/sec downloading the Fedora Core 2 test3 DVD .iso off of bittorrent :( So, no, curl wasn't my first choice... I even tried curl in 2G chunks, but the ftp server was broken and would allow me to continue a file past the 2G mark. So, I backed up a few bytes continued just before the 2G mark and let it download the next 2G. Finally had to settle for the slow torrent feed for the last 100M or so. Just very frustrating all in all.
er... That should say "would _not_ allow me to continue past the 2G mark."
7.11.x apparently does support large files-- will upgrade to that for next update
Just want to say "me too". Been trying to download Fedora Core 2 DVD ISO image ... curl is broke, wget is broke ... trying classic FTP now. I will definately appreciate the next update.
