Re: Invalid torrent file error troubles
I hear ya.. we also noticed that each were made with TLH. (v2.4.1.16013)
these metafiles will not load in my utorrent 1.8.2 (build 14458). I mean, they wont load into the program at all. I dont believe a tracker issue would cause this to occur. I dont know exactly why yet..but many of us agree this is certainly the case.. so lets eliminate some variables. - for a test, would you care to recreate and upload an exact same show (or two) using something else to create the .torrent file. ?perhaps the black keys show? thanks and good morning No members have liked this post.

Re: Invalid torrent file error troubles
For testing purposes I downloaded the .torrent files from the torrents below:
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=72445 (Docabilly) http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=72452 (Austin Lounge Lizards) http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=72458 (The Black Keys) http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=72460 (Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys) All four .torrent files check fine with TLH but not with µTorrent that pops up an unable to load ... invalid torrent file error message. So there's no way to download these torrents using µTorrent (Windows OS). Unfortunately µTorrent doesn't tell what part of the .torrent file is considered invalid. ABC doesn't "like" the .torrent files too, MakeTorrent does ... This could be an issue with TLH, of course. But the last release is running a long time now, and there hasn't been a single user's error report about its .torrent file creation function. Judging from some of the earlier posts changes were made to .torrent files in question. Never do this using a text editor! A .torrent file is an encoded txt file with checksums included. So just changing parts in most cases will damage the file. If you want to properly change things you have to create a new torrent file using the changed settings. mdshrk1, did you manually change your .torrent files after creation with TLH? <edit> After analyzing the .torrent files mentioned above manually I detected that three bytes were missing at the end of each file. This is not a TLH issue! It only can happen if you manually change the .torrent file with a text editor. (Btw, it's an issue with TLH's check function that doesn't get the error. This will be fixed with the next release.) </edit> No members have liked this post.

Re: Invalid torrent file error troubles
Robert, that avatar is a crackup!
mdshrk, I think this error is because the torrent files were made with an invalid announce url - tradersden.org instead of thetradersden.org. I'm not sure how many were done this way. But, if you want to reupload some using the correct announce url, you can hit the on the one you are replacing and just sayin in the report "For Lynne" and I'll transfer the stats from the non-working one to the new one (the completes and completed by info).
