Time capsule as a network drive at win 10 PC

Your question is a little garbled, do you mean can you format the drive to NTFS to allow larger files??

If so, yes. I believe it has to be formatted via the AirPort Control Panel rather than using explorer as it is a network drive not a attached drive but this is how I have mine setup - as I have some ISO files on for software.

Formatting will wipe everything on the drive

Win 10 shows that hard drive of time capsule has FAT32 file system

The Windows operating system will show the Time Capsule drive as FAT32, even though it is not. Fact of the matter is that the Time Capsule drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+. The Mac format will support huge file sizes up to about 2 TB.

So, mtorrent cannot download to time capsule file with size more 4Gb.

And that unfortunately is the file size limit with FAT32, so not much that you are going to be able to do about that. The PC cannot read the actual file format of the HFS+ Time Capsule drive as HFS+.

Paragon NFS+ installed to pc.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Paragon, but if it is software that supposedly allows a PC to talk to Mac, then the PC is going to see the drive format as FAT32.

is it possible to solve this issue?

Not in manner that I know about, but another user always seem to come up with a "secret" in cases like this, so stay tuned.

Formatting will wipe everything on the drive

This is true, but you might want to mention that in order to format the Time Capsule drive differently than the default HFS+, the following steps are required:

Open up the Time Capsule....(which will void the warranty)

Pull the hard drive.....not an easy task on the newer Time Capsules.....even for an experienced tech....since the Time Capsule was not designed to be dissassembled.

Place the hard drive in a USB caddy or enclosure

Connect the enclosure to your computer

Format the drive

Remove the drive from the caddy or enclosure

Reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule and hope that it will work

Im not suggesting removing the device, I believe that mine is Formatted using the HFS+ and works on windows nativity - I will check tonight. I have done nothing special, it is just formatted using the utility. I dont have a Mac currently and use on a Windows 10 PC.

I will double check tonight and post back, but I did nothing special and dont have any special software. It is a older TimeCapsule, one of the first ones - doubt that will make any difference though.

You don't have to do anything to the drive that is already installed on the Time Capsule to use it with Windows......unless you want to erase it and start over.

Windows has always had this problem with the TC.

It is recognised on the PC as a WinNT server.. and hence the disk is taken as FAT32.

As a network device you cannot change the TC.. and you cannot change the format to fix the problem.

You should use a USB drive plugged into your computer and formatted NTFS. This is always a better method.

Or buy a real NAS. The TC is designed specifically as a Time Machine backup device.

After a fair bit of messing around.. I used the same trick as Mac uses to setup a virtual disk on the TC.

So get instructions for creating a virtual disk (via disk management) on the TC hard disk. Once it is created you can then format it NTFS and use it as a standard disk..

I copied files >5GB to it without issues.

Note it took a fair bit of time to setup and more messing around to create it.. You also will need to mount it when you reboot the computer.. although I guess you can try mapping it.

That might prove useful anyway to doing Windows backup to the TC.
