  • Synchronet having trouble with long filenames or some specific charact

    Looks like error message is from SEXYZ, not Synchronet.

    What is the actual filename? Does it contain a slash?

    Ah you're probably right on it being SEXYZ.

    No, no slash. The filename is

    Looks like it's the brackets ([]) in the filename messing up the wildcard support (using glob).
