flameout Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Win Xp sp1broadbandI get this error a couple seconds after the torrent starts to download. Torrent immediately stops at 0%.I'm guessing it's referring to the "location of downloaded files" & "storage for torrent files" foldersunder "folder options"Both are set to the exact same directory as my Azureus, which works...In addition, I know the directory is valid because uTorrent does indeed place the .torrentfile in this dir as specified.I do have much excess space on the hd.Any suggestions?thanx,dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Is it a torrent with unicode filenames/directory names? As in, non-US ASCII.If not, "location of downloaded files" & "storage for torrent files" should be different folders, I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameout Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 not sure..this is it exactly:[isoHunt] Prokofiev- Symphonies 1 & 5 - Weller,LSO.torrentI changed the "storage for torrent files" dir ....same problem..Btw, it does sometimes download up to .3%, but when the error occurs it resets back to 0%.In that short time to .3%, I get decent speeds up to 30-40kbsthanx for those suggestions...I'll keep trying,daveEdit: please don't quote posts before yours.

Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Are the files INSIDE the torrent unicode (basically non-english characters)? Or the directory name that the .torrent specifies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameout Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 none of the above...already completed DL w/ azureus, so if uT was that fickle, I'd never use it...dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pak Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have the same problem. Did you found out a way to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Make sure the path length + filename isn't too long. I've experienced it myself when I stuck my files too many folders deep.(it was something like F:\DC++\VGM (mostly non-mp3)\Star Ocean (スターオーシャン)\Star Ocean Till the End of Time\Star Ocean Till the End of Time - Original Soundtrack Vol. 1\Star Ocean Till the End of Time - Original Soundtrack Vol. 1 Disc 1, shortened the folder name and tada ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pak Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have some file that have much longer filename and no problems... *shrugs*I'll try it anyway.BTW I get this problem only with big files on oink.me.uk (like over a gig but the names of the files doesn't seems to make a difference.)

Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 The paths are incredibly long for those torrents (windows is limited to 255 chars, some of those in the torrent reach like 200), you should be saving them to the root of the drive.We tested it on Azureus, and Azureus gave "Data file missing" errors. So, it leads me to believe that you used different paths for each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshifted Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Eeeww. I'm not a member of Oink and can't see this particular one for myself, but don't you just hate when people put their entire life stories into the paths in a torrent?

Firon Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 It looks to me like when YOU tested it, you saved it to different folders with each client.Save the torrent to the root of your drive, like C:\The problem is that the path is too long, and Windows can error if you put it deep in your folders. Both Azureus and µTorrent gave the same error, because it's a Windows limitation, not a torrent client limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
