Still present in buntu 14.04 and transmission 2-82
example this torrent:
https://kickass.so/h264-mkv-ac3-eng-sub-ita-eng-guida-galattica-per-autostoppisti-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy-bbc-1981-s01e01-06-t6196446.html

The name of the torrent or magnet is too long, but not the files inside,
so is not a problem of encrypted file system, is just that to download
the torrent it tries to create a temporal file with the name of the
torrent, even if the torrent has no long file names on it...

To fix it, in a crappy way, just edit the magnet link and remove a few
chars, and the torrent will download.

So a fix for this kinf of error is just temporal torrent file to not be
longer than for example 40 chars, is jsut a temporal name to start the
donwloading.

I mean if the files inside the torrent are too long for a encrypted fs
ok, (that I think is also a problen of ecryptfs), but if it's just the
name of the torrent, why use it exactly as it was written (so often
people creates long torrents name for search engines to be easily found
like the one y pointed here), not necessary to allow users to create
files just with the name, I imagine transmission takes care of this for
security reasons and checks the name of the torrent, I hope no directory
name inyection is possible playi8ng with transmission temporal file
names...

Title:
  Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long

Status in Transmission:
  New
Status in transmission package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: transmission

  I'm trying to download a torrent (from
  http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/48348) but I get the message:

  "Error: Unable to save resume file: File name too long"

  and I don't see that there is much I can do about that. It would be
  nice if transmission dealt with the problem itself and made up a
  shorter name for itself, as I have no idea how to shorten the name
  myself.
