- What do you mean by "block" ?
- What do you see in the screen?
Comment 2 BRULE Herman 2009-11-21 18:04:11 UTC 
It progress < 4GB, at 4GB it stop. The progression stop (not progress) at 4GB.
Comment 3 Michael Pyne 2009-11-21 18:48:47 UTC 
The only fix we could implement would be to not even try the copy. You are correct that this is a FAT32 limitation, FAT32 is limited to 4GB file sizes.

When error is detected (4GB limitation) inform the user.
