[Solved] Peer not found error: How to get info with CLI

Post by Opperpanter »

Hello,

Currently all my torrents from one tracker are reporting an error:

"Peer not found <hash>. Restart torrent."

For all torrents, the hash is the same.

I see this error using Remote Transmission (the desktop gui on win7 x64).

I wanted to get some information using the command line on my NAS where transmission daemon is running.

The command transmission-remote -t 52 -i (or -it or -ip) doesn't show me the tracker status.

Which command should give me the info of the tracker status and error message?

I am using Transmission 2.32 on Debian Squeeze.

Thanks,
rb07

That is strange!

I've never seen the message you quote, I really don't know what it is about, but the only hash is usually the torrent's, and its different for each torrent.

The "-it" parameter shows both status, and, if available, the problem message.

But the error message you show is not about trackers.

Wild guess: you are blocking peers outside Transmission (i.e. firewall, iptables)... but I would expect a time-out, not a not-found... perhaps the "peer" is really a bogus address that causes this problem (in other words, somebody injected the bogus address into the tracker expecting to cause exactly the error you are seeing)... is the "hash" really a hash or an IPv6 address?

it turned out that other people were having some similar issues with the same tracker as well.
In the end I decided to restart transmission-daemon and after that everything was ok.
