Ubuntu Deluge shows errors when downloading large bit torrent files and keeps erroring out after trying to resume. The error on details shows: "Invalid argument".

This happens for many large torrents that are running for several days (trying to download.) I try to "resume" and "force rechceck" but it never works. Smaller torrents seem to work ok. What is causing these torrents to never complete? Is there a way to force Deluge to keep auto-resuming every few minutes after a failure instead of just giving up?

Probably you are trying to download a torrent that has a large file (more than 4 GB) and trying to save it on a FAT drive. FAT is limited in the file size. Use NTFS (if on Windows) or any Linux drive format (ext3 or ext4 or ...)
