Re: TOTAL CHARACTER LENGTH OF THE PATH OF THE FILE YOU'RE TRYING TO CREATE IS TOO LONG

THE WARNING SAYS: TOTAL CHARACTER LENGTH OF THE PATH OF THE FILE YOU'RE TRYING TO CREATE IS TOO LONG.  i DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT HOW CAN i FIX IT.

I split the topic as it wasn't related to the original one.
It simply means what it says.
Windows cannot have file names longer than 256 characters including path and extenstion.
So I suggest that you temorarily shift the download path to something like d:\
or you can manually change the file name in your incomplete folder to something shorter.

Cheers

Slight correction.. older windows versions can't handle such long paths, Winmx has the same limitation (i think because it was coded to be compatible with win 9x)

generally the solution is to make a folder with a short name in the root of your drive to download & another to share from, this is detailed in the tutorial for sharing on 3.53/3.31, by reducing the length of the path, files with long names generally cease to pose a problem.
