I believe you're mistaken in the direct cause of my problem. I'm |
| 12 |
using NTFS on the Windows XP machine. |

The file is the same size in bytes (8056211212) on the destination XP |
| 15 |
machine as it is on the Samba host, but the md5sums (using Sumemr |
| 16 |
Properties under XP) don't match. |

The reason I mentioned 4gb is kinda off-topic here, but I've had |
| 19 |
problems in the past running BitTorrent on Linux box, saving files to |
| 20 |
a directory which was samba mounted from another Linux box. I assumed |
| 21 |
that there was some kind of 4gb limitation of SMB - and a friend |
| 22 |
remarked the same problems (using a Mac) - but googling does not seem |
| 23 |
to support this. |

Thanks to the other posters for their excellent suggestions - I'll |
| 26 |
try them later today & report back. |
