“This torrent contains file paths that are not safe to store”
When a transfer failsA torrent can name files in ways that would escape your library folder. Those are refused.
The full message is:
This torrent contains file paths that are not safe to store (absolute, over-deep, or over-long names).
A torrent carries the names and folder structure of its files, and nothing stops whoever created it from putting something unreasonable there. gettor reads that structure before storing anything and refuses three shapes of it.
- Absolute paths — a name that tries to write outside your library folder rather than inside it.
- Over-deep paths — folders nested far beyond anything a real release uses.
- Over-long names — filenames longer than storage systems reliably accept.
What it means for you
Almost always that the torrent was built badly, not that it is malicious. Either way the answer is the same: gettor will not store it, and there is no setting that permits it.
Tip: If you control the torrent, rebuild it with plain relative paths and ordinary filenames and it will store without complaint.
