|
The other night when  I was trying to download a ebook via BitTorrent, I got error message “System cannot find the path specified (WritetoDisk)".


System cannot find the path specified (WritetoDisk)

After tinkering around, I found these two methods work that perfectly for me.

How To Fix Torrent Error Write To Disk BitTorrent


Method 1: Reduce Or Change File Name

You reduce some characters of the existing file name or rename it with a shorter name.

1. Click on the torrent link.

2. A box pops up.

3. Change the "What should Firefox do with this file?" to "Save File".

11. Click on the "Rename".

12. Now you can either reduce the existing file name shorter or totally change it to a shorter new name.

Example:

You can cut away or reduce it to:

D8BD73C4A.torrent

13. Similarly you can delete away the existing long name and replace it with with a new name.

example: movie1.torrent

14. Now you can try to download again.

For this method, there is another simpler way.

1. Instead of clicking on the "Torrent" link, you click on the "Torrent Magnet" link.

2. A box pops up.

Method 2: Download To Hard Disk Drive


You download the torrent directly to C:\, D:\ or E:\.

This is how you do it:  

1. Open your BitTorrent.

2. Click on "Options".
