Transferring just over 2gb of files to a Fat32 formated USB Flash drive?

Is that a zip file you're transferring to the flash drive? You say the file is "just over 2gb" and I'm assuming your flash drive is a good bit larger than that, correct? What is the progress bar showing? FAT32 supports files up to 4GB in size and volumes up to 2TB, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Yes it is.My Flash drive is 32gb.1.67gb about two hours to go, but that was saying that hours ago.it has been going on for 6 hours now.5,380 to go.Thats what i thought up to 4gb.The total size is 2.09gb. 10,000. games 2.09gb seems a bit small for all those games?
I hope you were copying it (should be the default action when moving between separate volumes unless you held down CMD when dragging the file over to the flash drive) instead of moving it. I would click the "x" to cancel the copying process. Is there anything else on the flash drive? If not, then reformat it (and perhaps reformat it to exFAT instead just for good measure) and try copying the file to it again.
I have read that is the case copying small files that is.It finally copied them ,it took 8 hours.And i have supposedly got the fastest internat connection.I have had the Flash drive some time and it might only be a 2gb one. I just hope it works after all that. How can 10,000 games take so little space ?
All working fine now . I did not need to put it on a USB I could have put them straight on the PC.

Welcome to the '80s.
A gigabyte was, like, all the space in the world back then.
That's not from the 80s, it's from around 2000, when computers were thousands of times faster than those from the 80s. And no, I'm not exaggerating
I had no need to put that on a flash drive anyway.That's not from the 80s, it's from around 2000, when computers were thousands of times faster than those from the 80s. And no, I'm not exaggerating
I should have hust taking the downloaded file on the flash drive.And extrackted it when the file was on mu other PC.This was my Zenith and it was considered really something in its day.That's not from the 80s, it's from around 2000, when computers were thousands of times faster than those from the 80s. And no, I'm not exaggerating
I gave it to my dad who used it into the 90s and it's now in a museum.
Can't remember the exact date it came out but certainly early 80s. Or all the specs but it was about $3000. Ran on DOS 3 I think (Note: my first Canon laser printer cost more than that)
Screen had amber characters.
First laptop in 95 had 25mb hard drive and in 98 I had an 8gb hard drive and everyone laughed saying it was ridiculous because no one would ever need an HD that big.
Please don't tell me this is a "product" you have purchased. Nobody has the right to sell ROMs aside from the original content owners - and this "product" is likely a repackage of stuff you could freely download from the preservationists archive.org
I bet this guy would like to get his hand on that
I love watching all this retro stuff one of my fav you tubers
