RB wont write file

[Nastrafireblaze]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

So, RB wont write a file to disk.

I believe the reason is because the program attempts to save the entire link instead of something much more shorter or customized. The filename then exceeds the filesystem naming requirements.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

So I'll make this a follow along bug report.

1) Using the EXT4 Filesytem.

2) Add podcast feed http://jv.wild949.com/podcast/jvhighlight.xml to rhthymbox

3) Update Feeds

4) Try to download/save a particular podcast such as "STRANGE EMAILS" from Aug 26 2010

6) The download/save will fail.

5) Open your web browser and load the direct link to

http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/SANFRANCISCO-CA/JVLD-IP/HIGHLIGHT - EMAILS.mp3?CPROG=PCAST&MARKET=SANFRANCISCO-CA&NG_FORMAT=&SITE_ID=11497&STATION_ID=JVLD-IP&PCAST_AUTHOR=WiLD_94.9&PCAST_CAT=Arts_&_Entertainment&PCAST_TITLE=JV's_Highlight_on_WiLD_94.9

6) The reason for the fail is because Rhthymbox attempts to save the entire URL above as a filename. The filename exceeds the filesystems filename specifications.

That is the update.
