downloading >4gb single files..hd problem?

If downloading a >4gb iso image and hd only supports single files up to 4gb, does that pose a problem? I remember having problems with big iso-files..till a while ago...

this is what dvddecryptor shows on log:
W 13:55:08 Drive C:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB
W 13:55:08 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB
W 13:55:08 Drive K:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB
W 13:55:08 Drive L:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB

The E: and F: in the middle belong to my Seagate 750gb harddrive

For now torrents are going to L:/K:, but for the two last isofiles(>4gb)(from demonoid though, but this question might easily apply to files from here too, as well as those downloading them), I directed them to the hd mentioned.

I also made a test by trying to copy them to other partitions(other than E:/F: ), but it simply gave an error message saying there wasn't enough space(which isn't true(for example: D: 57.6gb free)), so the log seems to be right.

Is there a way to make the other ones except single files bigger than >4gb?
Why does those NOT except single files that big, while one does?
Are others aware of this problem?

I'm not that experienced with computers, so If someone could explain a little about this, I'd really appreciate it.

sincerely, Blanchimont^^
