Handle rtorrent's rejection of large torrent files

[Jeoffreybauvin]

Hi,

I just found a big torrent file : 4,3 Mb.

When I'm adding it to Flood, I have this in my javascript console :

POST https://flood_adress/api/client/add-files 413 (Request Entity Too Large)

I can't add it to Flood.

Any idea ?

Maybe add a bigger value in .rtorrent.rc - network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set

In my config it is 4MB if you add a bigger one and restart rtorrent it will work.

network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set = 4M

4MB for a torrent meta file is insanely big, btw. What's the piece size?

@Jeoffreybauvin please configure rTorrent as @mirolm advised. This is not a bug with Flood, but definitely Flood could handle this error and provide better feedback in the UI. I'll use this ticket to track that and rename it accordingly.

Hi all,

@mirolm Thanks, but with 10M, it's not better : I still have a 413 Request entity too large.

@randomnonsense : Yes, I don't know why : it's a 40 Gb file.

If you are using flood and nginx then check client_max_body_size parameter in nginx.conf?

Set it to a value for example:

client_max_body_size 16m;

If you are proxying flood through nginx, don't forget to proxy_max_temp_file_size 0 too, nginx has a hard limit of 1024mb otherwise and you're downloads will fail.

Same problem with a ~10Mb .torrent file Flood behind Nginx Logs:
