ran into some bad trouble the other day @ school
Background Info: I use dial up, therefore I use my 120 meg flash drive to ferry things home from school. Problem: Downloaded file size 256MB, tried to split into 100MB files so they would fit on the flashdrive. The problem encountered is that no matter how I change the number in the split box, I only get 1KB archives.....you know how many 1KB archives I had in 1 file???? It nearly crashed the computer when I tried to delete it. Knowledge Needed: How do I split the files into 100MB archives? :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: |

nono, I would have been lucky if that was the case. I split a 256MB file into 1KB archives...on a 5 gig hard drive....with a 500Mhz processor....64MB RAM
Catch my drift? LOL |

Try Total Commander. I find it very good. Splitting 21 MB game to, like, fifteen 3,5' disks... these were the times...

Sounds like you did a clasic misstake...
The input-window in winrar sais the size in BYTES... so.. 100 MB = 100.000.000 Bytes..

MiB as million.
I agree, that seems the problem. Did you know that hard disk makers use 1000 instead of 1024? |
