I realise this will break torrents that are moved from Windows to Linux - so perhaps a small bit of notification or notation in the torrent status would be pertinent. Or better yet, display the transformed pathnames in the torrent summary window so as to avoid any knowledge disparities. ![]() I suspect users would tolerate automatic "disambiguation" which would slightly mangle the filenames, if it meant they'd be allowed to actually download the files. Sure, but it would be fine if you applied a DETERMINISTIC transformation process such that for any version of uTorrent, the transformed directory names would end up the same. I had no idea that terminal spaces were "invalid" (in either the create or the file transaction side of it) under the Windows file APIs. I learned something bizarre and new tonight. So it would seem that uTorrent needs to adopt a similar path translation scheme which right-trims the directory/filenames accordingly. Attempts to create such a filename in either the GUI or the CLI fail. I've since noticed that Windows doesn't seem to support filenames with a terminal space. ![]() Naturally, when the file create/write attempt is made, the system says "Sorry, no path!". But worse, a different part of uTorrent which does path/dir validation is convinced the directory exists. It seems like uTorrent, or some library/API call is TRIMMING the terminating spaces from the directory name. When I tell uTorrent to not download any files in that first directory, my problems seem (so far anyway), to be gone. No wonder the path isn't found - the wrong one was created, but uTorrent thinks it's there. Sure enough, when I look at the directories created, there is no space after the "1" in the directory name which has a terminating space. That is, the first directory name is actually "Complete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 1 ". in the TORRENT, the directory name of the first one actually has a space after the 1, whereas the rest of the names are fine. The torrent contains five directories, labelled thusly (names changed, but not the word lengths or their number):Ĭomplete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 1Ĭomplete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 2Ĭomplete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 3Ĭomplete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 4Ĭomplete Zyborg Problem Vol 9 19XX Part 5īut there's something strange. The pathnames aren't very long, certainly under 120 characters, and I've even tried to set the Download location to be the drive's root - letting uTorrent put the sub-directories directly into the root directory. I have a torrent which is producing this error fairly consistently, and I've yet to figure out exactly why, though I have some suspicions. ![]() Windows XP SP2 + current hotfixes through May (32-bit)ĪMD Sempron 3300 with 768MB of physical RAM UTorrent 1.6.1 (Build 490), just downloaded tonight.
