Magnet downloads not working

Open simoncbarker opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Downloading from piratebay or YTS and get this message every time:

Downloading From:magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BF3EEDF5D1091B4F6EC4A1F61EE8B18D5E4D4479&&&&... Searching... Metadata download created Found 0

Any ideas?

Can't comment on specific downloads but for magnet downloads to work it helps to have a functioning BiglyBT DHT and Mainline DHT. A "metadata download" will also be created (as it says) that you can see in your BiglyBT library. This will attempt to connect to peers to download the metadata (i.e., the .torrent) contents. You can inspect the Sources tab of the metadata download to see which sources are giving you peers (DHT, trackers) and that might shed some light on your problem.

You could test with this magnet, it works fine for me:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:72b4507e90e056a4552db51807b5beb059075474&dn=LibreOffice_7.4.1_Win_x64.msi

I am having the same issue. On the sources tab the DHT shows nothing. Your working magnet is not working for me
