Kan5478 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi,I am downloading a tv show that comes out every week... it used to d/l without problems... but last week it downloaded 10% and then a red X appeared next to the torrent name (where a down arrow should be) with the following Error: The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.So i thought maybe it's the tracker or seeder's problem... so i skipped downloading that week. This week i tried downloading another episode and showed me the same error. What is the problem? How can i solve it? Thank youAll other torrents work fine... just have problems with this specific tv show... but problem started last week... before that, it was downloading fine...

Firon Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Save it to a folder that's in the root of your drive, it just means that the path is too long for Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan5478 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 i save all my downloads to D:\Torrentsis that too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 That depends on how long the directory/file path is on the file(s) in the torrent. Try saving it do D:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarler45 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I just posted in a similar track (apologies if this pisses anyone off). I have this problem all the time if I leave folder options set to ask me. I am using 1.3 build 364. If I set a location in the options folders menu then tortrents will be saved. This is not a path problem - I do save to a network drive - because all other BT clients (bitcomet, Asurius etc) work. It is not a unicode problem and is reproducable 100% of the time.Any ideas.

rich710 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Exactly the same problem here,I'm also saving to a network path, It has worked fine on all other versions but with build 364 this started. When i try to save to the local disc on my laptop it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galapogos Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I also have this problem with some files. Here's the screenshot with the offending torrent. I'm using 1.3.1 beta 389. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idle.newbie Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 i guess it's an old torrent in ANSI encodig, the filename has full-width Janapese character like " or ", and the .torrent did not specified corresponding encoding.try to open the .torrent with any hexEditor, the last byte should be "e", insert "8:encoding9:Shift-JIS" before the last "e". remove old torrent task from µT and re-add this new .torrent, it should work if the encoding is correct(i can't sure the Japanese encoding = Shift-JIS).i do this many times on SimplifiedChinese torrents with "8:encoding4:GBK", they all work correctly.
