Post by Askman2018 »

Fedora28, transmission 2.94, ext4

multiple pushing the button "Start Now" allow download all required torrent files completely, but so many times need pressing... Ohhh WTF?! How i can resolve this problem?

I have the exact same issue. The error message that says "File name too long" still persists.

i am also having this problem on a linux EXT4 filesystem with names exceeding 255 characters, something I haven't seen since the days of FAT and windows 95.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allo ... file_names

Problem is, I am using linux with ext4, which allows names up to 4096 characters. And no, I am not saving things onto a FAT partition.

A workaround is to rename the files one-by-one within transmission, but even once downloaded, it can give errors while seeding.

I am using 2.92.

Deluge had no problem with this same torrent, saving to the same Downloads folder.

Here is an axample of a torrent with filenames over 255 chars that gives errors:

In Properties-Options menu of problem torrent must be checked box "limit upload speed", set it to 0 kb/s, Seeding Limits set to Stop seeding. After this action torrent doesnt move to error group and downloaded carefully. So problem isnt UTF encoding.
