The other day while trying to download the discography that I uploaded by Amjad Ali Khan, I noticed that after adding it to the BitTorrent Client (In my case Transmission), this Torrent reported the following problem "Error: File name too long ... ".

Image error


If this has happened to you, you can get around this problem with the solution that I will propose.
The first thing to do is to have a USB stick handy!
After connecting the USB stick to the PC, we open our BitTorrent client again and right-click on the torrent that reported the error and then on "Set Location ...". Now in the "New location" field we are going to select our USB stick that we connected before while in the second field we enable the item "Move from the current folder" and then click on "OK".

Image error



I'm sorry I created such a short place but, I wanted to inform you of this problem. :)

Its the actual foreign characters which cause problems in torrent clients.

Sry to disagree but... :D

In the case of "Amjad Ali Khan" there are 9 outta 100+ filenames truncated (from being too long)

Not trying to hijack this.

I had a movie one day a few months ago that would not download, something about the tracker had too many people or being overloaded, and there were only 20 seeders and leechers in total.

I kept updating it and it would not connect.

Finally I deleted it.

Now I can't remember what it was.

I have seen other torrents with 5000-6000 seeders and leechers and they downloaded from beginning to end without any issues.

Yeah, that doesn't relate to the OP's post at all :-)

As u mentioned tho..  over-inflated seed counts are indeed suspicious :warn:warn
