Greetings. I am running rTorrent 0.9.3/0.13.3. When attempting to load a magnet URI via the RSS Feed, I am not able to download the meta data in order to begin downloading content.

Screenshot Attached.

Logs (Attached) do not seem to indicate why rtorrent cannot download the meta data when loaded from RSS. Some peers are marked as "unwanted", but I do not find a match for them in the ipfilter.dat file. When I attempt to load a magnet URI manually by pasting it into Add Torrent -> Torrent URL field, everything operates as expected.

Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I get the same thing from TPB RSS feeds. It will pull the RSS, and run the filters to start DL, but the torrents never start.

Have to resort to manual intervention from another tracker, KAT at this time.

Manual DL from RS, or even a search from rutorrent on TPB leads to the same situation.

Try to compare URL from the RSS Feed and the "manual" URL. And you will see a difference. Magnet link from the thepiratebay RSS feed don't contain a tracker's info.

I have resolved my problem. I had not properly bootstrapped the DHT routing table.

I found the easiest way to do this was via the manual method (#3) as outlined in the following document:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUsingDHT

From the rtorrent CLI, I hit CTRL+X and entered the following command:
Code:
dht_add_node=67.215.242.138:6881
Although probably unnecessary, I then hit CTRL+X again and the following command:
Code:
dht_add_node=67.215.242.139:6881
After a few minutes, the meta data was replaced with the torrent file name and it began to download.

Did that, with both addresses, no change.

Items from the RSS feed will NOT load. Just get the meta file and it sits there, has been sitting there for several hours.

Doesn't matter if its from RSS Manager Rule to auto start, or if I click load from a listing in the RSS feed.

The only way to get it to load is to do a search for the same thing, and the hit load from the search results, then it works.

Really defeats the purpose if I have to sit and babysit the seed box. sad.gif sad.gif cry.gif
