[Wikipedia-l] trouble with gzip2 downloads

Fri Jan 23 11:57:09 UTC 2004

Hello, 

Thank you Carl, but your idea seems not working with huge files. 

But I found a solution that works : 

"type xab.txt >> xaa.txt"

I could unzip the bz2 final file without trouble.

Great! Thanks for your help!

Frederic

The first thing I would try is the command-line "copy" command: start up a
command prompt, and type:

  copy /b xaa+xab 20040117_old_table.sql.bz2

My only question is whether this works on 2gb files; I've never tried it on
really large files, but I don't know any reason it wouldn't work.

(The "/b" says to use binary mode; without it, copy in file-concatenation
mode defaults to ASCII, which means it stops copying at the first Control-Z
character.)
