Displaying incomplete list of the torrent trackers from .torrent file

Open slrslr opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

In some torrents, like this one (syn. velk. medv.) the BTE 1.33.0.beta.6 on my Windows 10 does not not display all trackers. Just display first one, in this case leechers paradise. But when i open the file in text editor, i see more trackers.

https://github.com/GerryFerdinandus/bittorrent-tracker-editor/blob/master/test_torrent/Sintel.2010.720p.SURROUND.x264-VODO.torrent shows numerous trackers, OK

Thanks for the link. But I am unable to download the torrent. Click on the link will not start the download etc. Can you put the torrent as attachment in this tracker issue.

@GerryFerdinandus link updated. If it wont download for you, use different browser. Please edit your post to remove torrent name for privacy reasons.

Download now work.

The issue: http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0012.html

Bittorrent tracker only support this format: d['announce-list'] = [ [tracker1], [backup1], [backup2] ] And each backup have one tracker item only.

But not this one. d['announce-list'] = [[ tracker1, tracker2, tracker3 ]] This is what your torrent is using

But also not this one. d['announce-list'] = [ [ tracker1, tracker2 ], [backup1] ]

And there are many other combination possible with all variable different backup size in one torrent.

I do not support this because it is too complicated to implement for me.

So in another words, if i create torrent, i should use empty lines between the tracker groups like this

a.trackerabc.com:123
b.trackerabc.com:123

trackerdef.eu/anounce

trackerghi.net:9034

I have seen that when i have not used empty lines between trackers, some torrent clients contact only one tracker.

torrent editor show only first tracker:

Yes, you must add empty lines between the tracker groups if you create a new torrent, normally the one that publish the tracker list already done so. One example is to just copy and pasted from a validated/tested tracker list
