SABnzbd Forums

Well, it's not really a sabnzbd bug, but rather NTFS filesystem restrictions.
So I've got this error:

Download itself is stucked at like 99% percents. My guess it's because of long filename, and Windows just can't handle those files. No matter how much I try to redownload, it's being stucked.
So, there is a feature to request (if it's not implemented yet, never found it): to automatically cut off/rename long filenames to something shorter, to let Windows unpack everything properly.

TIA

You simply have to make your paths shorter (below 260).
One aide is to set the Config->Special->folder_max_length to something like 50.
The problem will not be solved before release 0.8.0.

Thanks for this suggestion, trying it now. This issue has plagued me on multiple releases, had been just deleting and finding alternate release previously.
