| Something has been giving me fits. There is a long file name for a torrent on TGx. I think it resides a few other places. Once downloaded this long file name will not transfer / copy to a backup drive. I tried it twice. And I understand the long file problem in Windows7. There's a paid software which says it will fix it. I'm not keen on paying for a softrware for one-time use. Are there any torrent renaming conventions for this? Or any tips on a freeware long file name tool? here is the thing itself-- https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/14806/The-Donmar-Warehouses-All-Female-Shakespeare-Trilogy-Julius-Caesar-Henry-IV-The-Tempest-HEVC-x265-WEBRIP--MPup- None of the three elements of it (three plays) will transfer to reassemble in a target folder either. Given all these problems I could remake it. | |

| You can try downloading it to your root. That may shorten the file path enough to complete the download. | |

| Hmmm. I downloaded it from scratch to my backup PC. But the download always looks for the client program or does it? since a tried a whole torrent folder copy, I know that, again, when it got to this one it just quit with the same error. Downloading it isn't the problem. I have it going. But the problem should be made plain to the user. Would a DOS copy command get around the problem? Next time I do a clone HD backup-- would I run into the same thing? I have this same question going at Sevenforums. Nothing satisfactory from them without changing a file name with a program called FileCopy. I have not tried to use that. It doesn't address the problem of retaining the original torrent format (not something I discuss with them.) On one thing I mispoke about no activity. Four seeders are showing. I was thinking of so many other ones from the same source that I wind up being the only one keeping it going. Last edited by loninappleton on 2020-09-30 05:47:27 | |
