"Failed to prepare file list: Could not create directory" bug

[ne0ark]

I get following error in rtorrent.

"Failed to prepare file list: Could not create directory"

Will this fix the issue?

system.method.set_key = event.download.inserted,create_download_dir,"branch=d.is_multi_file=,"execute={mkdir,-p,--,$download_dir=}""

I am getting the same error. The fix you proposing does not help.

[ne0ark]

Is there a fix for this issue?

@ne0ark

Is there a fix for this issue?

Unfortunately no

I also have that problem on 0.9.7. Dont have the line schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied= in rtorrent.rc

I am having this problem now in 0.9.8 I also do not have 'schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=' in my rtorrent.rc

Increasing the ulimit fixed it for me. https://linuxhint.com/increase-open-file-limit-ubuntu/ be sure to quit rtorrent, log out of your terminal, then log back in and restart rtorrent.
