d1:failure reason74:Connection limit exceeded! You should only seed/upload 10 shows at a time.e
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! ;-) No members have liked this post.

According to the rtorrent guys, the tracker is broken (invalid error message):

We don't allow seeding over 10 torrents at once. I don't think the tracker is broken. If you have some 10Mb upload or something, maybe Lynne can grant you an individual exception, but since most people are doing 2Mb or less upload, 10 is a good number for efficiency, in most cases.

Regarding uploading, what is strange is that I can easily be seeding 20 or more torrents as long as I started as a leecher and don't close them! It's only if I try to reopen an already complete download that I've closed that I get denied -- typically to try to help out a stranded leecher. So it's sort of inconsistent, and I was very confused until the rtorrent guys sorted me out. I find that when I host many torrents (and I do have a fat pipe, 5Mb uplink) they don't share the bandwidth evenly, one or a few will be very active for a while, then some others will pick up. I suspect I would be uploading less with less torrents open since those lulls would be empty. I haven't observed any particular problems seeding 20 or more torrents with rtorrent but maybe it's a bad practice. Many thanks for running a great site! No members have liked this post.

And yes, you would only notice this in affect when you go to start a torrent after you had it off. That is when it goes to 'count' how many torrents you are already seeding and then spits out that error if you are over the 10 max limit.

We used to have a lot of problems with users having, no kidding, 75 torrents open with each one trickling 2-3 b/s.
10 is sufficient. No members have liked this post.

I had to post on the rtorrent mailing list and enable a debugging flag to actually see the subject error; perhaps a bit more of a hurdle than it should be. If the error message was correctly encoded, I think my client would have displayed it, reducing my confusion. Maybe not, though, not a big deal. I wonder if others have been similarly confused however. Quote:

I can live happily with the limit on seeds, it was just a curious bit of dysfunction that I finally got around to trying to resolve via the rtorrent mailing list and these forums. I can probably keep my uplink saturated just doing what I've been doing. I just can't generally open an old download to help a stranded leecher without closing a bunch of stuff, so I will try to modify my behaviour to keep my seeds around ten. Thanks again for all your hard work, and please enjoy your vacation! No members have liked this post.
