aletornw Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi, yesterday I downloaded a torrent of ac/dc and the download folder was named ac/dc, after a while of downloading the torrent stops saying that utorrent can't find the download folder.. or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Thats more likely a bug with your OS than with µtorrent. "/" is the thing that devides subdirectorys in MS-OS.More not allowed characters in filenames are / \ ? : * " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 A directory or file can't be named with a backslash or forward-slash in its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletornw Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 oh.. that was the problem.. well anyway i think this is still a bug, because if you use a name unsupported by windows (with / \ ? : * ") utorrent will still try to download there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 It's not really µTorrent's fault that the torrent is broken. / isn't allowed in *nix either, afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletornw Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 utorrent should advice that it couldn't create the file/folder and give an error, instead of tryin' to write there all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGato Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yep, better handling of such things would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
