DreadWingKnight Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 The specified path is my NAS unit Does the problem persist with local files/download locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoTemp Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Looking at some of the file names in the torrent this could be the issue, but you would of thought that with today's technology that the devs could of done a check before time was even wasted by the user. I guess i will try again and see what the computer looks like in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 The developers are not in control of ALL the people that create torrents AND if someone has created a torrent where the filepaths are close to 255 character and then YOUR downloads folder is added to the mix that takes it over 255 characters, the error will not occur until the first piece of that particular filename is written to the disc.BitTorrent clients do NOT use the concept of "files" so the client will not 'know' that the block of data it is sending to disc WILL break the filing system limit prior to Windows throwing the error.

GoTemp Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Im sorry ciao but i just dont believe its "impossible" to count the characters in the download path and the torrents with how technology is today. If that check was done before downloading then i would not be here would i? Especially if it posted a meaningful error message other than "Error: Can not write to specified path" Like "Error: Windows has a 255char limit on files and folders you have reached or gone over that limit with the file path please try a new shorter path. like 'C:\' "So yes i do blame the developers on this one, no checking is done prior to the download resulting in this error which wastes peoples time and bandwidth. Like i said i find i dont believe its impossible to do this action, if they can read whats in the torrent and display the files and folders then they can count the characters in them.Btw it is now downloading but i was not happy that following the instructions on how to move the file did not work so i had to restart from the beginning, like i said wasted time and bandwidth.

ciaobaby Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 BitTorrent clients do NOT "know" what files are so how could they count the characters in a path for a piece of data that they don't "makes" a files when it is sent to disc.BitTorrent clients work by getting pieces of data that are put together like a jigsaw, and any one piece may contain data for part of one file OR parts of one or more files. The path is not known until the disc filing system is given the pieces.Like soand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
