trulis Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Hi all, ive read the million posts on this same topic but none seem to have a working solution.When creating a torrent file using rutorrent & then opening on home pc or external box it says "Invalid Torrent File".The file size is always 12bytes no matter the size of the original files torrented.Have tried clearing browser history ect in both I.E & Firefox with no change &when viewing the torrent file with notepad it reads...Object id #1TY
DreadWingKnight Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 If you're getting that text as the content of the .torrent when you download it from a site, contact that site to find out what they broke.
trulis Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Posted February 16, 2010 thats the content of the .torrent file after creating it, using rutorrent from files that are located remotely.

moogly Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Is Torrent Editor able to open a torrent with this error?http://torrenteditor.com/
trulis Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 Torrent editor: ERROR: Decoder encountered unknown char 'O' at offset 0.Also not sure where the server is located & latest version of utorrent.
moogly Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Ok so the .torrent is corrupt. Many reasons can be found: problem with your internet connection, with the website script delivering the .torrent, your web browser etc...
trulis Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 Tried IE & Firefox & clearing cashes.Seems alot of ppl are having the same prob.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 And how are you getting the torrent from the remote system to the home system?
Ultima Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 When creating a torrent file using rutorrent...when viewing the torrent file with notepad it reads...Object id #1...thats the content of the .torrent file after creating it, using rutorrent from files that are located remotely.Then rutorrent is doing something wrong -- whether generating a bad .torrent file, or serving you a bad file.
