Bug Description

Downloading: "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:454fface03362f237a2a2e4961121c2db4adb75c&dn=Van.Wilder.Freshman.Year.2009.720p.HDTV.x264.Feel-Free&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80", creates very long path (.../Van.Wilder.Freshman.Year.2009.720p.HDTV.x264.Feel-Free/Van.Wilder.Freshman.Year.2009.720p.HDTV.x264.Feel-Free/Van.Wilder.Freshman.Year.2009.720p.HDTV.x264.Feel-Free/Van.Wilder.Freshman.Year.2009.720p.HDTV.x264.Feel-Free/... and so on).
In addition to the above, part of the torrent is downloaded in the default save path.
Also after some time qBittorrent reports something around 10 I/O errors (the directory is not a file) and pauses current download.

Environment details:
Download path file system: ext4
Fedora 16 x86_64
qt 4.8.0
rb_libtorrent 0.15.9 or 0.15.8
qbittorrent 2.9.7 or 2.9.5

Possible duplicates: #960492 and #659099.

This bug annoys me for quite a while. It seems to happens whenever the torrent has a subdirectory w/ a name similar to the torrent's title.

Another example: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:RUTIUQDZEDN6I5STLUXTFUSPYRUHEFZM&dn=The%20Big%20Bang%20Theory%20-%20The%20Complete%20Season%205%20%5bHDTV%5d%20%2b%20EXTRA&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80

Yes, I know what the issue is. Unfortunately, this is not an easy fix due to the way qBittorrent handles torrents internally. I'm however, changing this behavior in v3.0.0 and it should resolve the issue. Hopefully, such torrents are not too common.

In the meantime, I would suggest using torrent files instead of magnet links if at all possible.
