Unhappy BitTornado Error: Cannot Find The Path Specified

Hi-

A noob to posting in forums -- Please be gentle with me.

Using the most recent stable version of BitTornado on Windows 7. I have been using it 'enthusiastically' with no recurring problem. (See my pathetic ratio as evidence -- But what's a guy to do if no one wants the same shows as I, 'cuz my windows are always open )

As usual, I save the torrent file to my drive. Then I double-click the bit torrent file. My client opens and gives me a window to specify where to put the torrented files. A client window opens and then instaneously I get:

"Couldn't allocate dir [Error 2] The system cannot find the specified path . . ."

Nothing gets dl'd, not even a new folder -- No file names, etc.

NOTE: This is only happening with one particular torrent which scores of others have successfully downloaded - A fresh torrent still very active.

I have read all about this error message and tried everything. It definitely is not something commonly discussed about this error:

-I have tried to save the file to my HD;
-Nothing unusual or troubling in torrent name, path, file names, etc;
-Not an issue with number of characters/path name length; and,
-I have tried the obvious and simple fixes: cleared out all my cash, deleted all the files, rebooted, tried again.

I'm stumped

I guess now I will find out if anyone ever reads this stuff, huh?

Thanks! Jesse
