Kevin4fm obv if there are no thumbnails then the uploader isnt in a position to act indignant for copping negative feedbck or being reminded that there is a minimum standard that needs to be met so every user can have positive exprience and keep coming back. my post isnt a dig on why thumbnails are eeded. its a dig at ppl who think being a jerk cos there wasnt as many as you expect or nitpicking is justifiable.

@jokuihmemies i dont dispute that. i'm not having a go at ppl for any of what you mentioned. however ppl need to understand that your problem (not you personally) isn't my problem. if an uploader provides thumbnails and screenshots but not in the quantity you expect it doessnt warrant being a jerk in the comments. play nice is all i'm saying.

This post is for the 'thumbnail police' who post rude comments complaining about thumbnails, speciifically the absence or insufficient number of them, or the poor quality, or the imperfect filing of thumbnails making it difficult to work out which video file corresponds to the thumbnail. Or my favourite, complaining that the torrent file is too large to download without comprehensive thumbnails AND several screenshots per video to help them decide if it's worth their bandwidth, drive space and hit to their ratio.

It's not enough that the uploader has probably paid for the content (I often do), they're too cheap to, but have also likely spent hours downloading, organising, filing, renaming hundreds of files so they upload successfully, double and triple checking, creating a detailed torrent file with accurate categories, sub-categories and tags plus images showcasing the content and a dozen other things that go into sharing the content that you're getting for FREE. To then complain, leave snarky comments or make out like taking a chance and downloading it is asking way too much of you. Just say thank you and ask for whatever it is you want with gratitude in your tone, not attitude. Or don't say anything at all and go source the content yourself.

@kalayaan You were right! I checked the file names and they had @ and ! in many of them. I never thought to check just assumed the file names would be ok if they can be saved in explorer.
Thank you!

I've never had this problem uploading before. I have no idea what any of it means. I've googled it and the forum answers are too technical and over my head. I've tried using different torrent programs, uploading different files etc and keep getting this error msg. Is anyone able to explain what I need to do but in a way that an idiot would understand? Thank you, Idiot x
