Actually, I've just noticed that torrent is all python, so it's really
the python interpreter that needs the large file support.

Try this to test your filesystem
"dd if=/dev/zero of=twogigfile count=2048 bs=1100000"

I'm no python programmer, but someone can probably quickly whip up a
couple of lines to generate a large file. And then you'll know if it's
in python or not.
