ntfs-3g 2Gb Limit?

I didnt have enough time to try it, but i was copying a 7Gb iso image to a ntfs partition mounted via ntfs-3g, and i got an error after copying exactly 2 Gb of it.... is ntfs-3g restricted to files under 2 Gb? Do i have to add any option to my fstab in order to make this work?
Strange....

No such limit.  I copy virtualbox hdd files to/from ntfs partitions all the time (10-15 gigs each).

Ok, it looks to be a weird kde erro: if i copy anything by console, i get no errors at all.

Thanks!

With KDEmod you can't be sure, give us the version  with pacman
pacman -Q  kdemod-package
