I installed ubuntu with the option to encrypt my home folder, and the encryption expands filenames such that lengthy cache filenames billy uses are too long and cause an IOError during the scrape.

This is probably no big deal, but a workaround might be to swap the filename out for str(hash(filename)). I've used that in other places, and it guarantees a short, unique number for the filename (but is completely unreadable).
