Torrent data maximum path length is 247 characters
Effective immediately, I and the Moderators will be pulling any torrents that exceed 247 characters in the path length.
Why is this necessary?
Windows maximum path length is 260 characters. This including any slashes, colon, folder names, and drive letter. There are several torrents here that exceed this. Anyone using a Windows OS, bittorrent program, or media player not supporting >260 characters will not be able to download and/or playback your files.
Folks seeding from older OSes will not be able to seed these. For privacy reasons, folks sometimes choose Windows 7 to seed from as it can be made free of Microsoft spyware updates (unlike Windows 10 or newer).
Why 247 characters?
D:\Downloads\
That's 13 characters. 260 minus 13 equals 247.
To make your post compliant, often just your .txt file needs to be renamed to info.txt.
