I encounter problem when joining SKYHD051 of Megumi Shino.

Total size is a bit bigger than 4GB and when I tried joining by File Splitter&Joiner there's a pop up saying "can't write to a file stream" shown.

I already checked all files I downloaded and they all seem okay.

any comment or advice?

Are you using FAT32? Definitely sounds like a filesystem limitation.

A lot of video players can handle split videos though. VLC can even play from RAR archives most of the time. If your video is compressed and you want a bit more flexibility, you could format an external drive to NTFS, extract to there, then split the actual video file into <4GB pieces for your FAT32 drive.

If you aren't using FAT32, or some other limited filesystem, then I'd try another tool. 7-Zip will combine .### split files if you "extract" the .001 file.
