ungovernable Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have built a DIY torrent system on my phpBB forum. Basically, the users will just upload the .torrent files as attachements in phpBBThen i have built a custom RSS feed so i can auto-download the .torrent from phpBB attachements and seed them.My problem is that each time i try to download a torrent from my feed, i get a weird error saying "torrent not valid bencoding"I can confirm that the torrent files are correctly encoded. If i open the .torrent file from my computer, it will work. But if i try to download it from the feeds, i get an errorI suspect because the download links looks like this :http://www.anarcho-punk.net/download/file.php?id=2The links aren't ending with ".torrent" but if you visit the URL with your browser it will indeed download a .torrent fileMy other option would be to get the uploaded files straight from the upload folder of phpBB, but phpBB doesn't keep original filenames so my download links would look like that :http://www.anarcho-punk.net/files/64_2c46924f9ffd648f020791162dc4f2d3What can I do ? I really need to get it working.Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The download links in your feed don't direct-link to the torrents.That's the problem.What the url ends in is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungovernable Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 So I should use links like that instead ?http://www.anarcho-punk.net/files/64_2c46924f9ffd648f020791162dc4f2d3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 If it direct-links to the file rather than to a download page, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolzen Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like your forum doesn't allow anonymous users to download attachments. Utorrent is seen by forum as anonymous and can't download right file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
