What the hell did you upload: This is not a Bencoded file

[Grimmest Reaper 0]

Hi There,

Yesterday I created a Torrent file with Utorrent V3.3.When I tried to Upload it to Bitsoup I received the above dreaded message. I then downloaded Bencode Editor and verified that the file has no errors.The Bitsoup team suggest I change back to an earlier version of Utorrent, which suggests there may be a problem with the Torrent creation utility in Utorrent V3.3. I have noted that some commentators believe this problem could be caused by the Torrent containing negative values. As a relative newbie I am now confused as to whether the problem is the Torrent creation or its parsing. Any help you could provide would be gratefully received,

Best Wishes,

Grimmest Reaper

If it loads in bencode editor AND torrentspy (torrentspy.sf.net) then the problem is in the bitsoup bencode library.

e-mail a copy of the torrent to dreadwingknight@gmail.com as well

I can confirm that the problem is that bitsoup is using an outdated and/or broken bencode library. It is not a problem with uTorrent.
