Deluge
Trying to download a torrent, however the download halts with the error "The filename or extension is too long" followed by the full path of the download.
How do I correct this error?
Windows 10, 32GB Ram and disk space is huge.
Can I edit the torrent file etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
The filename or extension is too long
Re: The filename or extension is too long
Usually errors like that on Windows mean that the "total file path name" is too long.
Easiest fix is to save to the root of your drive: example: C:\.
The file path Windows processes is the name of the file being saved + the name of every folder between that file and the root directory.
Example: C:\Computer\Documents\Downloads\My Torrents\Videos\Movies\HD\Youtube\Movie Trailers\Some movie.mkv might be too long.
C:\Some movie.mkv is a lot shorter.

Thanks for the answer, I used the "Move storage" option and it worked. Great.
