No1mom Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 HI - when I start to download it appears to be going okay - with about 10 - 12 peers but then after a short while I get the above error message. I have managed to download a few things a couple of months ago, but now everything I try to download fails with the above message. I am not a highly computer literate person, but can normaly fix easy problems. would welcome any guidance.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 In the General tab under "save as" is the path you're saving it to very long? Where are you saving it to, i.e. C:\documents and setings\my_username\my documents\my downloads ?This happens with ALL torrents? Can you verify the current setup by saving http://www.slackware.com/torrents to that same location. How long after start does the error occur?

No1mom Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 HI thanks for that - you are right it is a long directory so I have changed it to just a folder in c: - have also started downloading the file you suggested. The problem normally occured quite quickly when less than 1% had been fully downloaded.I will try it again and see if this works.can I ask what the slackware file does - it seems to be pretty big at 3.2 gb - but is downloading okay - I am assuming I delete it at some point?? it has already downloaded 15% pretty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 :/ I recommended starting it in the same place because it will verify it's not related to the TYPE of files being downloaded.If you get the same problem with c:\ as the save path, then I'd recommend providing the HiJackThis and Process Explorer logfiles from Ultima's Troubleshooting How-To sticky.

jewelisheaven Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So it was too long? Ahhh , k well next time you notice this you'll know what to try. That or you can change your default download location closer to the c:\ root Aren't kids demanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
