yes online, ok. sure. ( many servers are linux + apache) no limits there. 4096 limit (possible) oops I bet that is what they did.
offline is fails , for way too long of file , names, over 250
worse is they use spaces, endless in names, not under score or dashes, wasting 2 bytes per space used. (adds up fast when 1 named file uses 3 spaces.
it uses %20 (for each space) this 20H is space code in pure ASCII.(rules))
HTML URL rules. means (links to files on web pages)
there are apps that are free that can correct all these errors.
file name corrector apps. (file/folder) Truncating them.
I will look in to that.
the zip first must be fully extracted to a USB drive or to a folder (like C:/temp) keep it short the name.
then see it fail for all deep URL links in the HTML. (off line)
a shame they did not consider Windows rules or CD rules. sadly.
but who can complain free, it is. so we fix it.
try.
here is my app (komposer) generating 1 link to one random deep file in the expanded, zip file to Z:temp
see all that wasted space there? no pun.
20 = space
25= %
the result of this mess, below just the files in the temp folder use 240 characters. for 1 link.

the expanded zip file has Readme.txt nobody reads even me until now. it says fails in windows. ( not 100% , only deep )
lets see if we can find a free app to fix the errors.
