Invalid torrent file specified


Posted on May 1, 2012 by Quick Monkey

With some torrent file I got these message when I add them to Remote: "Invalid torrent file specified"

If I add the file directly to Transmission server, it works. As I realized, the torrent file was made by Azureus, maybe there is the source of the problem.

OS: Windows 7 x64 Transmission: 2.50 sp1 Remote: 3.24 build 3

Today I faced the same problem. But after downloaded the source of the project, and found the source of the problem. It was the creation date. This is a type of long, but it can't be added to 1970-01-01 cause it's much more bigger than it can be handled by .net (for addseconds and addmilliseconds too. It was 713341318629574). So in case of this exception I just put the DateTime.Now to the creationDate. I now it is just a workaround, but maybe a help for the developers...

Best Regards, Laca

i have similar problrm. I used my ASUS router to run transmissions. I could not open some of the torrent files using the remote interface, it returned an error saying invalid torrent file. I have no problem opening the torrent using bitcomet on my PC and start downloading. I also could upload and open the torrent file using transmission's web interface... seems something wrong with transmission-remote.

similar (or exactly same) problem. some of the .torrent files cannot be added to the download list via transmission remote because of "invalid torrent file specified". This torrents are easily added via web-interface.
