What is the exact problem you are seeing?  Why do you feel that the
blocksize (of what?) is the cause?

Please have a read of

If you don't ask a good question, no one will be able to give you a
good answer.  In this case, we have no idea what the problem you
are having actually is, so it's impossible to give any sort of
meaningful answer.
