ERROR: Disk error on creating file

Hi Shypike,

When I download a rar file contains a file with a very long name, for instance 295 characters, then SABnzbd goes to Paused mode and downloading stops, even when more files were queued. Is this by design? I would expect that the download of this file will be flagged as failed and the download of the next file will start.

By the way, I use "folder_max_length = 100" in de config file but this file was very long.

The error I got was:

2012-02-27 20:53:52,967 ERROR: Disk error on creating file C:\SABnzbd\incomplete\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (path total 295 characters)

Regards,
Erik

There's a hard limit of 260 characters in Windows.
(There's a complicated work-around which we don't have currently.)
The limit you set is for individual path elements, so a better choice is 64.
