SYMPTOMS
If a file transfer from any client to a Windows 2000-based computer is stopped before the transfer is finished, you may see an incorrect file size listed for the file.



CAUSE
The full size of the file is reported instead of the actual amount that was transferred before the interruption. This reported disk space is physically unavailable until the file is deleted. For example, if a 1-megabyte (MB) transfer was started and the transfer was interrupted at 512 kilobytes (KB), Windows 2000 reports a file size of 1 MB.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, delete the file copy it again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
