I'm highly dependent on mc for all manner of things, but I sometimes find I have to kill it after trying to copy huge numbers of files, and use cmdline tools instead when that happens, or try to subdivide the total into smaller blocks to do separately. IIRC, same thing's happened on huge files more than once, maybe upwards of 20G, 70G or 200G anyway.
I don't remember if I have copied that size of files, 4.7 GB is about my maximum. But I haven't had problems. However... I think that on some copy operations, mc does a local copy first. I have seen it when copying over an ssh link to another computer. And there has to be enough local storage first. I don't know why it does that. I know because after launching the copy, it was obviously reading the file, but nothing crossed the network. Then a "fs -h" discovered where it was writing to.
OTOH, I've yet to ever even open Dolphin, since MC is my file manager, in or out of KDE. :-)
I use nautilus, sometimes konqueror, to change file names, it is easier than in mc. In mc I have to type 'mv', then alt-enter, alt-enter, to copy the filename to the command line, then edit being careful with spaces and such. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
