Hi there.

plz no more mailnotificatoins for this bug,


ADDITIONAL comment:

This bug seems to be independent from any 32Bit-Operatingsystem.

the filelenght is misallocated by every operatingsystem using 32 Bit File_IO

cause:
not all operating system handle the length as -- UNSIGNED -- or -- SINGED64bit -- !!

The same happens with other protocols i.e. ftp, http, https ....

except  BIT-TORRENT, which splites the whole file in smaler parts, and after
transfer is completed, those parts are reassembled on the host.
