Why am I getting this error:

Disk error on creating file D:\raw\Default\The.Last.Ship.S03E02.1080p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION-Obfu\g9kMgkQTOcwm1tEweDKYq6pALIS7evxsjGwLWu5o1.part46.rar

I have enough space on my D drive and the folder length limit in Sab is set to 128 (default). This happened at like 82% of the release download and all the rar files have the same file character count.

Was the file created?

That's weird. I don't see any folders under " D:\raw\Default\". But the job is still in Sab's queue and is at 82%?

So I just force resumed the job and it still seems to be going and started saving files in that directory. I really don't understand what happened. Any clues? Is there like a buffer folder before Sab saves the files to the temporary download folder?

All files are written to the temp download folder directly.
SABnzbd does rather simple file system calls and relies on the OS to do its work.

What could've caused the error then?

I have no idea.
Could be the OS, could be the Python runtime.
Not likely the SABnzbd code itself, given the simplicity of the involved code.
