 because you're saving to a NAS or permissions err...reload the torrent and save to a different local directory No members have liked this post.

I have tried to save to three different drives and then tried saving the torrent file and launching in the client manually. all got the same error

Re: Error: Couldn't allocate dir - [error 2] system could not find....
well, thats not a network/torrent error - its a local permissions/OS error
try renaming the path ( rename the torrent folder -> shorten it up/remove any odd characters in the folder name before 'saving' ) No members have liked this post.

I think it is torrent specific. I am trying to get the 10-31 phish vid. The scientist in me said try another post. 10-29 and 10-30 vids started right up. no problems.

Re: Error: Couldn't allocate dir - [error 2] system could not find....
agreed. so, in turn, we must change a variable
this is the directory for 10-31 --> ph101031.1cam.24bit.aud.blu-ray before you save to destination /rename it --> phish103110 trust me

is betting the path is too long... shorten it up like he says

Re: Error: Couldn't allocate dir - [error 2] system could not find....
I am trying. Are you talking about changing the torrents name or the destination folders name. I have tried both. Instead of opening the torrent, i saved it with the name you suggested. when i launched it, same error. I guess I am still a little off on this one. How much different is 10-31 from the directory ph101029.1cam.24bit.aud.blu-ray that is working fine. I'm not trying to be an ahole. little frustrated yes.......

Re: Error: Couldn't allocate dir - [error 2] system could not find....
click the torrent link >
select Open > when your client asks 'where you wish to save' > then rename the ph101031.1cam.24bit.aud.blu-ray to something shorter and without all the dots/dashes (i recommend ph103110) > click save you're cool - Ive got a few more mins No members have liked this post.
