#117 failed to open stream: File name too long

[Josef Rosel]

Hello,
I really like Magmi so far, as it is very fast and customizable!
But currently I have a problem with the remote import: The url I got from an affilate provider is very long, in fact it has 343 characters. That seems to be the problem, as my log confirmes:
PHP Warning: fopen(/webdata/<magento-root>/magmi/plugins/base/datasources/csv/downloads/<very-long-url>): failed to open stream: File name too long in /webdata/<magento-root>/magmi/inc/remotefilegetter.php on line 282, referer: http://<magentoroot>/magmi/web/magmi.php?ts=1434627971&token=208051564255827d8881eb39.18530725</magentoroot></magento-root></very-long-url></magento-root>

I guess magmi is not the bottleneck in this case, PHP is.
The import works with a downloaded version of the file imported locally, but I need to use the remote import to automate the whole process via cron job.
Do you have any workaround to master this challange?
