TORRENT DETAILS
10 Years Of Science Fiction Excellence! Nebula Best Novel Nominees 2014-2023 - 62 Audiobooks (MP3s) SHORT PATH JQZ
DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT TO A FOLDER THAT IS LESS THAN 41 CHARACTERS LONG.
The point of this release is to help people who had trouble downloading the original torrent because the folder names + file names were too long. The longest folder name + file name in this torrent is 215 characters, so your download won't exceed the Windows 256 limit if you download to a folder that is fewer than (256 - 215 =) 41 characters long.
This is a re-release of the torrent:
> 10 Years Science Fiction Excellence! All of the Nebula Award Nominees for Best Novel 2014-2023 - 62 Audiobooks, 29GB, All MP3s jQZ
If you successfully downloaded that torrent, then there is only one thing you want in this torrent:
> "2014 - Charles E. Gannon - Fire with Fire [64k 16;52;47 467MB] FIXED50.mp3"
That file is MISSING in the original torrent. Download that one file from this torrent, copy it to
> 2014 - Charles E. Gannon - Fire with Fire (Tales of the Terran Republic, Book 1 of 7) [64k 16;52;47 467MB]
and rename it "Fire with Fire 51.mp3".
**You're done!** :)
In this version, the folder and file names have been shortened, so the longest path + file name is only 215 characters, compared to 368 in the original torrent.
I created it because I got a couple comments stating that the long names broke downloading.

If you had trouble downloading the original torrent because of a "path too long" or similar error, then adding the registry setting described here will make that torrent work. You can restart the torrent and save some downloading, and get better folder and file names.
On Windows, if you don't hack the registry, then there is a limit of 256 for folder + filename.
As stated above, since this torrent has a max length of 215 characters, it can be downloaded to any folder that is less than (256 - 215 =) 41 characters.
If you are on Windows and want to remove the 256-character limit, read this article:
Or (if you trust me) you can just implement what the article advises, by saving the following to a .reg file (e.g. LongPathRegistrySetting.reg) and double-clicking it add the setting to your registry (you might have to right-click it and select Open With -> Registry Editor).
The article says you might need to restart your PC to get the new registry setting to take effect.
Per the linked article, the registry setting works "Starting in Windows 10 (Version 1607)", which was released in August 2015.

This torrent is somewhat inferior to the original because of changes made to shorten the folder + filename:
Descriptions of series for several of the books, e.g. "(Imperial Radch, Book 1 of 3)", were removed
* A number of books that have nicely-named chapters in the original are changed to "01", "02" in this one.
The file "Audiobooks in this collection.txt" has the titles from the original, if you want to see the series information.
The file "Filenames in the original torrent.txt" has all the file names, including the longer names for several audiobooks that were descriptive (e.g. "03 - Chapter 2 - Damaya, in winters past") and were changed to "03".
If you modify the Windows Registry as above, you will be able to download the original torrent and avoid these changes.
Unfortunately, when you sort by name, that puts the winner last for any given year. Complain to ASCII. LOL
I also marked the Hugo Award for Best Novel winners by putting #HugoWinner at the end of the folder name:
> 2014^ - Ann Leckie - Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch, Book 1 of 3) [64k 12;39;51 349MB] #HugoWinner
There are four books in this collection that won both awards.
I have only listened to a handful of these books.
***So far, by far my favorite is "The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter" by Theodora Goss.***
Goss is my new favorite author. "The Strange Case..." is the first book in a trilogy The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club. I enjoyed the other two books just as much. She is a superb writer. Highly recommended!
