[rojer]

After months of wondering why I would get "Tracker: [Could not parse bencoded data]" messages from my rtorrent client, I went to the rtorrent mailing list, and, having enabled the tracker_dump option, I learned that I've been getting the error message of the title.

I only get these when I try to reopen a closed torrent. I can open a new torrent just fine, indeed, I often have quite a few running over my rather fat pipe. I wonder, is this a good restriction? The context is almost always when I am trying to help out a stranded leecher! Perhaps this limit could be reviewed, or maybe a moderator could explain why I should restrict myself to 10 seeds. I don't seem to have any problem running many more that. Of course rtorrent is an extraordinary client! ;-)
