wldcat2 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Not sure if this is a bug or not because ABC doesn't seem to support it either. But there is a set of files I'm trying to download and the person has some insanely long file names on some of them. uTorrent gives me an error and says the filenames are too long. I've even tried skipping the longer files but I still get that message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Unfortunately, nothing can be done about that right now. This issue will disappear when we instate unicode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisfarms Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Unsure how related this is to this thread but here goes...If a torrent has a really long file name and utorrent is set not to ask for a download path/folder, then it will get confussed when it trys to write to the path like:\downloads\this_file_name_is_so_long_that_it_doesnt_exisit_on_windows.sorry for the slightly vague bug report .... first day using utorrent, so far very impressed, thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Yep, that's a known bug (was it fixed using the \\$ or whatever prefix?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 There was that really odd \\?\<rest of real path here> thing. It doesnt work for browsing etc ( \\?\d:\ fails) but it does seem to work for exact files and even goes beyond the normal 260 chars max. pathname limit. ( i.e. \\?\d:\really\really\really\really\really\really\long\file\name\here.txt works ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
