24 hour delay on Torrents published in RSS feeds

Hello,

Please see the following posts:

All of them describe a problem wherein all new torrents that are published to an RSS feed are not being auto-downloaded until 24 hours after they are published into the feed. During these 24 hours, their status icon is just a "clock". As soon as the 24-hours are up, the RSS Downloader will match the torrent in the feed and begin the download.

No one has been able to troubleshoot the issue to a problem with the favorites or some other setting in the software that modifies the behavior.

This problem showed up after upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0.2. These posts were all from different users and have reply's from others stating they've noticed a similar behavior after upgrading. The "favorites" in the RSS downloader have not been modified after the upgrade, are set to "match always". and as I mentioned, downloaded the torrents immediately under previous versions of the software. Any help or a fix you guys could provide would be appreciated.

I know this may sound silly but is your system clock right? Specifically the date, maybe a day behind?

Keep in mind that windows clock and internal clock run seperately, Windows just checks it everytime it opens and updates it when shutting down. If you're running a dual boot you may have run into it when Linux loads the clock in 24h mode (usually 12 hours behind the windows system)

Good thought, however it is not my problem. My system/windows time is set correctly with the current date/time.

What about your internal bios time is it the same? (check it during startup next time and then look at the windows clock once you're logged in to see if its the same)

[rodney23]

BIOS and Windows time are fine.

And on 2.0.3, does this happen?

i think i may have the same problem. i just upgraded to 2.0.3 because of slow download speeds with 1.7.7 and all of my rss feeds timeout, tried everything but when i went over a friends house and connected the rss feeds came to life.

have you tried going to someone elses house and using there internet

i have noticed that my rss.dat file contains the information but utorrent isnt reading it

any ideas?

example feeds i use

BTW... upgrade to 2.0.3 didn't change anything. Anyone NOT seeing this issue with feeds from ezrss or showrss that could post URLs and version #. I want to try out and see if I can figure out if its something with my feeds, my configuration, or an actual bug in uTorrent. Thanks!

Also... same issue in beta 2.2.

Wondering if anyone's figured out a fix for this? I'm using 2.0.4 and am seeing this same behavior on only two of my favorites. I use ShowRSS and ezRSS, usually with great results. I use filters to sort my shows and save them into their own show directories.

This is a re-install, as I just had a server melt-down. Not sure which version I was using before. Another tricky issue about mine is that I'm running utorrent on a Windows Home Server as a service and normally access via WebUI. With that arrangement, I kept noticing that two of my many shows weren't downloading. Using Remote Desktop to go into the WHS, I can launch the copy that is installed on the server (again, which it normally runs as a service; when I'm done with remote desktop, I exit the server copy and restart the utorrent service and can re-access it via the web) and see those two shows sitting there with those clock icons next to them. The rest of my filters work fine. I have to manually start the two that don't.

Any thoughts?
