dumbone Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hey all!I am new to torrents and tried to read about the error codes. I went to thepiratebay.se and tried to download a torrent from there. When I entered the link into UTorrent, I keep getting an error code: Unable to load *** (torrent name)*** torrent is not valid bencoding!I do not know what this means or how to fix it?Any help would be very much appreciated!As you can see by my user name, I am not shy about the fact that I am technically challenged!Again, if someone could help, or steer me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

DreadWingKnight Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Of course it's not working.You're feeding uTorrent the download page and not an actual torrent (or compatible magnet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbone Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I know I must be doing something, or things wrong. But I do not have a clue as to what they may be??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumbone Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 so I was just going directly to UTorrent and putting that in the add torrent from URL option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 But you weren't copying the magnet. You were copying the download page's url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbone Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I reopened the user manual ... I will re-read it and see if I can figure out what exactly I am doing wrong. DreadWingKnight, thank you for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
