Hi,

I recommend splitting the files so that no file is that large (but the sum of them can be). But I think that you really wanted to say that.

I think the problem of large packs is tackled right now by Troy, Shawn and Nico. Troy had exactly the same problem AFAIU, and Nico and Shawn are working on a new pack file format, which would lift the 4GB limit on packs while at it.

This should solve your problems.

Ciao, Dscho
