Needless to say, a quick search through the internetz yielded solutions :) So I thought I could put it here in simpler terms so nabs like me could understand :P
Okay here goes!
This error occurs due to a few common reasons
- The name of the path is too long. Meaning that the file name+the place the file will be saved into has more than the allowed 256 letters. So you should first remove the torrent+data from the list of torrents, then cut down on the file name or just straight save it onto your desktop (then transfer them afterwards) after you restarted the torrent download.
- The file name, somehow, has a full stop at the end. This is deemed unacceptable by uTorrent hence the error lol :P So, the easy way is first remove the torrent+data from the list of torrents, then delete the dot if you see it when you restart the torrent download.
- The place that you want to save the file in is invalid. This was the problem I faced. I was so used to everything going into my Downloads folder that I didn't notice this somehow had become blank lol - must have accidentally deleted it or something. So, just put a valid path there (a Read-Only location is NOT a valid path btw) for it to save your file into once you've done the 'remove the torrent+data from the list of torrents' and ' restart the torrent download' - for example C:\User\*your computer user name*\Downloads, then you're done!
In summary, here's a pictorial guide:
That's all I guess. There might be plenty more solutions out there (which ofc may be applicable to you depending on the cause of your error. P/S: You may get the same error which was caused by different problems.)
Good luck! :)
