Today it is not possible to download a zip larger than 2 GB with Compress and Retrieve. Zips bigger than this from Projectplace gets truncated and corrupted.
This makes it tedious to download large folders, since you have to manually select files/folders so that the compressed file is smaller than 2 GB.
This is a problem for users who:
You are not notified of the limitation in any way, it only shows when you try to extract the file.
Data should never be corrupt. If its a limitation you should at least get a warning that you are requesting to much data.
This is a severe limitation, it would be much appreciated if it could be solved.
Yes, this is a severe limitation. I now see that also others have submitted basically the same "idea" - quotation marks since I consider this a bug rather than an idea.
If you add up all votes for the different ideas you would see that this is a much requested fix. This seems to be quite common in Projectplace ideas - dupes, which makes the number of votes on each idea quite low.
A couple of examples:

I'm glad that you are discussing it. I will contact support for the direct link, this will for sure help.
Maybe you could just use the zip64 format instead? I'm not sure what environment you're in but it's supported at least in DotNetZip and IO::Compress::Zip in Perl, and also in OpenJDK according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format)#ZIP64
Any other solution that would let me download a selection of folders no matter what size in a simple way would of course be much appreciated.
Can you please verify that it is possible to download 4 GB from the direct address? I have received this link from support and I can still only download 2 GB.
This app is a step in the right direction and it might be a solution when it is a bit more polished. I have only tested it once and it crashed at ~75% of my project.
I would like a feature to download certain branches of the document tree and not the complete tree. It would also be nice to add a sync feature so that I don't have to download everything but just update whatever has a later change date than the local copy.
Any news on this? The unpolished application doesn't work very good for me anymore and the support team seems to have problems figuring out what's wrong. Now I can't download more than 2 GB even with the download application. This needs to addressed, it's very problematic to get a copy of the Projectplace document structure right now.
The Projectplace downloader is available through support: support@projectplace.com
