I want to download starcraft2.
Googled from where to dl it.
Got to this suspicious page : https://us.battle.net/account/download/
Selected the only starcraft 2 thing that is there.
It was a downloader.
Launched it. Did good until 4 GBs. Then suddenly says not enough space. Have 18 GB on C:, 126 GB on D: , obviously dling it to D:.
Rebooted. Checking goes until 2,21 GB, then starts downloading, and comes up with not enough space error.
I mad.
Do what?
Not in a mood for a barrel roll.

The folder I'm downloading it to has s 4 GB file named Installer Tome 1.MPQE.part
Could that be a problem that win XP can't handle files bigger than 4 GB? If so how do i fix it?

Have you tried defragmenting?

There may not be 4GB of contiguous space, just my guess.

Sounds like your drive is formatted as FAT32 and not NTFS. That page is also not suspicious, that's blizzard's official download page.

you could download it to the "C:", because your OS runs on NTFS

Yea, that was the part for irony.
Shit is being formatted as FAT32, how is that a problem?

Nop, I guess I don't have 20+ hours for defragmenting my whole shit.

I really wouldn't like to reformat everything as NTFS, any idea how to avoid?

fat32 doesn't support files bigger than 4gb. Just impossible to write such file. Reformat ASAP, because many games, movies (blueray rips ftw) etc will give you a problem.
