[SOLVED] transmission not working (registering torrents) after update

[zyrill]

Hi er13!

Since I updated transmission using the patches you submitted to trunk I can neither download nor upload torrents anymore. It seems the tracker receives my scrapes but somehow they don't register there so I get no peers and the server itself doesn't list me as one of the swarm neither. Any ideas what's happening?

Now, just out of curiousity, I reverted back to an old version and everything is fine again. Specifically what I did was:

svn up

to latest version and compile:

transmission --version

gives:

transmission 2.50

transmission in the firmware doesn't work however.

What I did now was:

svn up
cd make/transmission
svn up -r 8650
cd ../transmission-cgi
svn up -r 8650
cd ../..
patch -p0 < transmission-from-svn.patch

And transmission works again. The patch is the one you supplied me with here btw: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=241700

I looked in the log for errors but found none, even with DEBUG set.

[edit] a few buzz words for future onlookers: version bump torrent client private tracker version banning / ban stupid

Did you trigger er13 (e.g PN)? I don't know if he has the time to read the forum at the moment...

Does the tracker you use have any restrictions on the software resp. version of the software user allowed to use to connect to the tracker? There are some (private) trackers out there with such restrictions.

Would you please switch back to the trunk version of transmission and apply the following changes:

• set TRANSMISSION_FROM_SVN in transmission.mk to y
• change the version number from 13228 to 13219 (it's the latest 2.42+ version before the version bump in 13220)
• build transmission again

Does it solve the problem? If so, it's a tracker problem.

Hi er13, thanks a lot for checking up on the matter so quickly!

I hope it didn't take you much longer than actually typing that post because, well, yeah... Sometimes I'm a bit forgetful and things like the issue you described slip my mind. That is exactly what the problem was. I'm a bit embarrassed now.

I'll go hide in this little corner here, shall I?

And thanks (as well as sorry for the useless post!) again.

p.s.: I'll try to edit my initial posting to have the right key words in it so that in the future, people as silly as me will find the thread...
