Hello Rob,

Are you sure that limit is originated by the ZModem protocol?
To me it seems that it is a Filer limit.
FAT has indeed a limit of 4 GigaBytes in one only file sec.
Please try the same with NTFS on Windows, or EXT4 under Linux.
Maybe you can then store and transmit/receive lager files than 4 GB?
Somewhere I have heard or read that the limit is exactly 4 GiBi Bytes
minus one Byte !
So that limit could be: 4.294.967.295 Bytes long at the max.
It has something to do with the minus sign or so?
Note 4 GiB = 4 x 1024^3 or 4 x 2^30 = 4.294.967.296 bytes.
See the Table of Bytes under this message.
Much succes in getting over this limit.
Henri.

Decimal Bytes and Binery Bytes, a big difference !
1000^1 = 10^3 kiloBytes (kB) 1024^1 = 2^10 = 1024 x 10^3 kibiBytes (kiB)

1000^8 = 10^24 YottaBytes (YB) 1024^8 = 2^80 = 1209 x 10^24 YobiBytes (YiB)
So look at your media, i.e.Harddiscs, USB sticks or MicroSDCards etc..
