The log is full of "missing article" messages.
Conclusion: post is not on the server anymore.
Probably the result of a DMCA take down request.

Regarding the error messages.
Your paths are too long. Trim them by setting Config->Special->folder_max_length
to something like 60 so that the total path remains below 254.

I'm getting something similar ... Your paths are too long. Trim them by setting Config->Special->folder_max_length
to something like 60 so that the total path remains below 254.

Can you explain a bit more how this setting works? Thanks.

Actually, I see that SAB is now truncating the filenames (after I changed the folder_max_length from 128 (default) to 60).

Not the actual file names, only the folder parts are truncated.

Yes. And it's now working brilliantly! All my errors have gone away, so the truncating really fixes things. Thanks.
