issue with status of tracker

[xvinx87]

on other torrents utorrent has worked very well, but on a public tracker,

http://XXXXXX.com:6969/announce , utorrent cannot connect to any seeds or peers and says the tracker is offline but in azureus the same tracker says its online and conncets as per normal.could i ask why is that so?thanks :cry:

Edit: tracker address removed -V

That particular tracker works fine for me.

And please don't post addresses to trackers containing illegal files. Read the rules to find out what you may or may not post.

Same problem for me.

Sometime µtorrent tells me the Tracker is timed out and offline, but when i check it with a webbrowser or another client the tracker works perfect.

Updating the Tracker doesent change anything, only restarting µtorrent solves the problem.

This issue is very bad when you download form an Anti Leech Tracker, because your up/downs want be counted, and some Tracker-Admins could think that you try to cheat and ban you from the Tracker.

I think until this problem is solved i will use Azureus.

µtorrent is great, but i wont risk getting kicked from my favorit ALT-Tracker.

@the developer: Please first solve this problem, and then concentrate on DHT.

DHT is a function that many ALT-Tracker Admins hate, and forbid to use this feature on their trackers.

i reeccomend we word filter illegal torrent site names

example

bad tracker name - LINK-REMOVED-DUE-TO-ILLEGAL-CONTENT

so it would be

http://www.LINK-REMOVED-DUE-TO-ILLEGAL-CONTENT.com/illegalfile.mp3

protects this sites ass, and makes a fool out of pirates!

The problem can be fixed by double clicking on the torrent in question in your list. This will bring up the list of trackers being used. Remove the spaces before the HTTP:// of the tracker URL. That is what causes this bug. Now that someone (me) has found the cause of the bug. Maybe the developer can now fix it.

Tracker Status:Failure unregistered torrent,when use Azeureus no problem it works fine.

2 of 3 trackers are reported bad ("can't unzip" and "tracker sending invalid data"). With all other torrentclients everything is OK. Otherwise...great software!

gziped trackers arent supported atm (iirc)

[Ramrod]

Same here.

After the tracker has a disconnect (private tracker on dyndns)

utorrent can not connect again. Im waiting hours. After i restart

utorrent connection can done. Updating doesnt help.

For those who can't connect to the tracker (Offline and timeout errors) even though they know it's online...

This isn't for the gzip error, though.

There are no spaces before HTTP:// the problem is something else.

tracker sending invalid data

i read that a gziped tracker may give the status to utorrent. downloading is normal uploading same but the tracker is still giving this message

will this be fixed in future versions ?!?

[ludde]

Can someone send me a gzip tracker that I can test with?

[adim]

[link removed (private tracker, no account availability, no way to determine content hosted, so I'm erring on the safe side)]

You have to have an account (for free).

The message is "Tracker sending invalid data". With other torrent clients is OK. Could be gzip, I don't know for sure...

EDIT: you should just PM ludde the links

This is my tracker:

[tracker link removed (content)]

[turner3d]

Also have µtorrent users getting the "cant unzip" error at my tracker - the tracker does NOT use gzip encoding, and there are literally thousands of other µtorrent users on the site, downloading the same torrents with no problems.

[Firon]

Are the users with issues all on 1.5?

[Majik]

For trackers that are compressing their output, the admins should really update their announce/scrape scripts to check for gzip support and only output compressed if supported by the requester.

[Firon]

µT does support gzip

[Majik]

µT does support gzip

Ya, I know.. I compress the output on my site. It was more of a general statement as some trackers I've seen don't do any compatibility checks before compressing the output.

[Firon]

Oh, okay. Do torrent clients even advertise gzip support (like a browser)? I haven't really captured the packets sent to a tracker, so I wouldn't know.

I'm honestly not sure offhand if all clients do or not as only a couple were used during initial testing when I'd coded the first version of the tracker. Some did, while others didn't. So, I made sure that if it couldn't be determined that the requester could accept compressed output, it would be sent uncompressed.. It's the best thing to do for cross-client compatibility. I haven't had any reports relating to compression errors since.
