RanD Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I tried to create a torrent for a folder which contains only one file and it was created with no problems, the torrent name was the same as the folder name and when I added it to the download list to check if the download is working, a folder with the same name was created in utorrent temp folder, all seems to work fine at this point, the file is showing in the file's list too (like it should be).The problem is connecting to the web seed, it just won't start downloading and nothing appears in the peers list, rarely the domain name pops up showing it has 100% of the file hosted but after 1 sec it disappears.I thought that maybe the folder hosted on the domain, even though it has the same name, it might have a different hash, then I tried to add the same link of the web seed again but this time adding the file name to the end of it (...domain.com/archive/folder/file.ext while before it was ...domain.com/archive/folder) and it worked!I tried using these urls:http://domain.com/archive/folder/http://domain.com/archive/folderhttp://domain.com/archive/http://domain.com/archiveBut the result was always the same (not downloading). At last, only adding the file name at the end of the url worked but, I don't think it's supposed to be like that, isn't it? is it a bug of utorrent or I was doing it the wrong way?Anyway, sorry for my bad english.

DreadWingKnight Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 File and folder names on a majority of web hosts are case sensitive.Did you factor that in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanD Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 File and folder names on a majority of web hosts are case sensitive.Did you factor that in?Yes it was the first thing I checked, both folders names are the same and there're no caps, otherwise it wouldn't have worked at all (I mean it wouldn't work even after using the link to the file inside the folder like I wrote before).

DreadWingKnight Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Have you turned on the logging flags on the logger tab and taken a look there to see what's going on?Are there any symbols in the filename? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanD Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've no access to the logs on the domain where the files are hosted, or did you mean the log of utorrent? but I don't know how to see it, about the folder name it has no special characters, it's text/numbers and the name is "driver3300" while the file name inside it has parenthesis, but I don't think that's the problem because if I make a torrent for the file alone then it works, while when I try to download the folder where the file is contained it doesn't.

DreadWingKnight Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I meant the uTorrent logs. It's on the logger tab, you may have to turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
