[Desktop-packages] [Bug 788626] Re: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long
The bug with a long filename was never fixed, it is still here, in version 2.94. Can be reproduced on a ext4 filesystem, for example with this file: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:AE5A4BDCD389292584DABE1B7557A4AFFEFDDD97&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt4.t-ru.org%2Fann%3Fmagnet&dn=SPA-%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%20%D0%BD%D0%B0%20%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83%20-%20%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%20%D0%90.%20-%20%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9%20%D1%83%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%20%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B7%20%D1%85%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%82.%20%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%80%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%86%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%83%D1%80%D1%8B%20%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%20%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B%2C%20%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8B%D0%B5%20%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%BE%20%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%20%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%20%5B2009%2C%20PDF%2C%20RUS%5D The file name is in Russian.

To fix it, in a crappy way, just edit the magnet link and remove a few chars, and the torrent will download. So a fix for this kinf of error is just temporal torrent file to not be longer than for example 40 chars, is jsut a temporal name to start the donwloading. I mean if the files inside the torrent are too long for a encrypted fs ok, (that I think is also a problen of ecryptfs), but if it's just the name of the torrent, why use it exactly as it was written (so often people creates long torrents name for search engines to be easily found like the one y pointed here), not necessary to allow users to create files just with the name, I imagine transmission takes care of this for security reasons and checks the name of the torrent, I hope no directory name inyection is possible playi8ng with transmission temporal file names... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788626 Title: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long Status in Transmission: New Status in transmission package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: transmission I'm trying to download a torrent (from http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/48348) but I get the message: "Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long" and I don't see that there is much I can do about that.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 788626] Re: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long
Using Transmission 2.82, now there’s a feature where you can rename the file yourself in the torrent properties dialog... but, if it’s a single- file torrent and the name is too long (and, I would imagine, if the base folder in a multi-file torrent has a name that’s too long), that overly- long file name _still_ gets used for the resume file, and you’ll still get this blasted error message.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 788626] Re: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long
I have a temporary workaround until this issue is fixed. It seems indeed that it occurs on encrypted home directories, so the solution is to move the files away from that. Note that the files you move away from your encrypted home directory are (obviously) no longer encrypted... Anyway, this worked for me (execute in terminal): # 1. exit Transmission (properly exit) killall transmission ps aux | grep transmission | grep -v grep # should yield nothing # 2. move the resume directory (where transmission keeps the resume files) to a non-encrypted directory: mv ~/.config/transmission/resume /tmp/transmission-resume # 3. make a symbolic link from the original location to the new one: ln -s /tmp/transmission-resume ~/.config/transmission/resume Obviously, it's also a good idea to *save* these files with long file names in a non-encrypted directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788626 Title: Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long Status in Transmission: New Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: transmission I'm trying to download a torrent (from http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/48348) but I get the message: "Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long" and I don't see that there is much I can do about that.
