MrXindeed Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Can someone please help!I keep getting this error-Error:System Cannot Find The Path Specifiedwhenever I download a file with a long folder path.What I end up doing is going into the Files Tab and saying Don't Download. Then I highlight a small section of files and choose Normal Priority.Once those are done I highlight another small section and download those.I can eventually get all the files this way, but it is impracticale.I'm using uTorrent v 1.4, Win XP Pro SP 2 and a D-Link DI-524 router.I have the firewall turned off in my router and I'm using E-Trust Armor Suite as my firewall.It occasionally pops up and asks if I want to allow uTorrent to connect and I choose allow.I can download most torrents just fine.I seem to have the problem only when the path and/or filenames are long.I get the same problem when I use BitComet.It's driving me nuts!Any suggestions?Thanks!!Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Save the torrent to the root of your drive next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXindeed Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Someone else suggested something similar.I used to have a folder on my desktop called Torrents where all my downloads automatically went to.Someone suggested making a folder in My Documents and save to there.That apparently isn't working either.So do you think I should make a folder in My Computer and download there?Or should I make a folder on the C drive?Or should I just download the default folder of the torrent to C?Thanks!Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberb05 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 "So do you think I should make a folder in My Computer and download there?" not trying to be a dick but you cant make a folder in my computer i keep getting the same error when downloading files. dunno if there is a patch to automatically update files that have stopped that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXindeed Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 not trying to be a dick but you cant make a folder in my computer Ah, ok.I've never tried, now I know. Well at least I'm not the only person in the world having this problem.Have you tried the solution posted above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberb05 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 tried solution above.. didnt work for me. i even went back to ver 1.3 and still am getting this error. seems the file comes up missing after about 10-15 minutes of starting a download. but its only about 2-3 torrents that do this. i have other torrents been downloading 3 days straight no problems. maybe its just a conflict between the tracker and utorrent?that would be what i think could be a problem. hope this helps.

MrXindeed Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Didn't work for me either.The thing is I can click on the File tab and deselect certain files to be downloaded.Right now I am downloading a Roger Waters torrent from demonoid.I have gone into the files tab and selected and deselected so many files.I've tracked it down to 2 files.I can download all the others, but everytime I click on eitheer of those 2 files and set the download to normal, it gives me the path not found error.I have asked and no one else has had this problem with this torrent.The files have long path names and that is the problem I get all the time.Here's an example of 1 of the files.Roger Waters - The Wall Live In Berlin\Roger Waters - The Wall Live In Berlin(Disc 1)\04 - Roger Waters - Roger Waters, Joe Chemay, John Joyce, Stan Farber, And Jim Haas - The Happiest days Of Our Lives.mp3I don't know of a way to edit the filename/path to make it shorter.I think that would fix it if I could do it.I just wonder why no one else is having the same problem.

Firon Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 So moving the torrent data to C: and then pointing µT to it with Set download location didn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXindeed Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Actually, yes it did!I'd stopped the torrent and restarted it but it was still pointed at the old directory.I went to the site and redownloaded the .torrent file and pointed it to the one on C: and it appears to be working now.Thanks You!Can you explain why this is?Or do I not even want to know.

foad Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 open utorrent ->option -> preferences -> set a folder for locations. (u can create a new folder.. or choose one already made. i chose C:/downloads . you dont have to uninstall utorrent.. or re-download the torrent file . just close and re-open. the cause of this problem for me was. adding a second H drive to my pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosfets Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I was having the same problema. "System Cannot Find The Path Specified" then it would disconnect the torrent and I'd have to restart it. So I got off my lazy ass and checked out my settings from the suggestions in the FAQ. Then I set a folder directly on C drive for torrents and torrent downloads.Now the damn thing downloads a movie approximately every hour! :-) I'm very happy. Thanks to the members here!

kerico Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 When sleckting a path try renaming the folder name where the files will be downloaded so that the name would not contain full stops "." (ex.: New.Folder = New folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
