DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Is it only in the one torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuduTompson Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 The torrent has several files, some of them are ok.The empty filename is mistaken by a directory when I try to download it.It happens often, I have to use other client to download.

Andreasvb Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Name: Clarice Falcão - Monomania (2013)Looks ok for me, in Windows though.Is it happening on every torrent you try adding?Only magnets or also .torrent?Maybe something with their filenames that's causing it?Found other with same issue: https://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=728452Version and build of µTorrent?Maybe try update to beta if latest stable.

DuduTompson Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 This happens with just some torrents. They are .torrent files, I don't have magnets to test.This is the latest stable (1.8.4 build 29971)This is the message I get from uTorrent beta (1.9.0 build 29250):These are the filenames. Maybe something with accentuation or filename encoding because they are the ones that show as ".alt".01 - Eu Esqueci Você.mp3 7.05 MB010 - O Que Eu Bebi.mp3 5.16 MB011 - A Gente Voltou.mp3 5.10 MB012 - Oitavo Andar (Uma Canção Sobre o Amor).mp3 5.22 MB013 - Capitão Gancho.mp3 3.25 MB014 - Fred Astaire (English Version).mp3 6.21 MB02 - Macaé.mp3 7.23 MB03 - Monomania.mp3 6.29 MB04 - Um Só.mp3 3.90 MB05 - Fred Astaire.mp3 6.20 MB06 - Talvez.mp3 5.06 MB07 - De Todos os Loucos do Mundo.mp3 5.63 MB08 - Qualquer Negócio.mp3 7.13 MB09 - Eu Me Lembro.mp3 8.44 MBAlbumArtSmall.jpg 5.93 kBFolder.jpg 27.44 kB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuduTompson Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Right. Is there a way to get around this bug, do I have to open a bug fix request or is this a problem of the person who generated the file, so he has to create it again?

DuduTompson Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 No idea A: I don't run a MacB: That's outside the scope of these forums, as it is not uTorrent specific.A. That's a Mac specific forum.B. I still think it's a uTorrent bug since I can download the torrent normally with other clients.In my opinion filesystem has nothing to do with the problem since files haven't been stored in the filesystem yet. The problem exists in the moment uTorrent reads the torrent file, so for me IT IS a uTorrent bug.I don't want to use other Torrent client but I think I will be forced to.
