why transmission cannot load a valid torrent file?

Post by Geek »

but other bt clients can? Transmission Remote tells "invaild or corrupt torrent file" but it is a vaild torrent file in other clients. Is it a known bug? Transmission version 2.0.4.

I don't think so. The problem of that post is tracker be removed after loaded into transmission. But mine is not be loaded, just to display "invaild or corrupt torrent file", no download item exists in Transmission Remote. I think transmission's verification of torrent file is different from other bittorrent clients, but the question is where is the difference and how to correct it?

If the .torrent file or its contents have non-English characters, Transmission chokes, sometime it works, others produces wrong file names, in your case it looks like the contents don't check but it could be that they are not in UTF8 (or the other hardcoded character set I think is Russian).

What is your environment (operating system, language settings, file system if it is a limited file system like DOS), and what exactly are you using? BTW the version is 2.04 not as you write.
