1st. how would you split a torrent?
2nd. how will you configure your Torrent client to download one file into two?:D

i seriously dont know, so i'm asking :)

imo merge 'em partitions partner:D

now i dont think that a 15gb torrent would contain just a single file... :) its highly possible that there are many files, therefore i suggest check off few files while starting the download, and then download 7GB at a time !! :)

Nope, for 15GB file, there wont be any way out. Plus 4GB is MAX FileSize for Fat32 so you wont expecting 15GB any time soon since they keep FAT32 and other things in Mind ;)

if it is a 15gb file than i m sure its full of bloat data...
other wise download the files in it separately..

Not everyone does. :)
I have eight gigabyte files that I cannot even use on both Mac OS X and Windows because there is no format that both can read and write to and that supports more than four gigabytes of data. :(
