18.04 Transmission stopped being able to handle large files

When using Transmission torrents in 18.04, I'm getting "Error: File too large".

When copying large files (22GB for example) in Nautilus it first copies a part of it and then it just crashes. This started recently and I have no idea why.

I was on 4.15 kernel, now I've tried 4.19.2-041902-generic and this didn't change.

I can't find anyone else having this issue.

I tried qBittorrent, it just crashes when trying to load a large file. As for suggested Thunar, I can't actually install it, because of broken openssl problem which I wasn't able to get around despite a very long time investment. (/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found)

I guess, I'll just give up and do a full reinstall. Sucks that the new Ubuntu is coming out in less than a month and this version didn't last till then, I guess..

EDIT:

Thanks for the tip! I removed my half-assed 1.1.1d openssl installation and OpenSSL-dependant programs started working normally!

As for copying large files, Thunar crashed while copying a 22Gb file saying

File size limit exceeded (core dumped)

and generated this crash report , though, more simply, when I use cp in terminal on a large file it crashes with File size limit exceeded (core dumped) after copying 8,2 GB (8 191 991 808 bytes).

I have seen that happens when you have a limit imposed by the root user.
