Tracker: Timed Out

[FUSiON]

Yesterday i installed a new Debian Box and a fresh rtorrent/libtorrent per SVN.

If i add a torrent, rtorrent can't connect to the tracker (testest with some different tracker): Tracker: [Timed Out]

I've testet it with a very clean debian box with the TuT from  http://flipsidereality.com/blog/linux/rtorrent-with-wtorrent-on-debian-etch-complete-howto/

And the problem is still there.

On my older debian Box, i have only updated the rtorrent with the latest SVN ... there it works.

So the question: could it be, that rtorrent can't connect to tracker since latest release of rtorrent on a fresh installation?

[hammer]

yes confirmed, exactly the same problem.

compiled from svn yesterday.

BUT: if i add several torrents, most of the time one states that tracker status is ok (and transfer is working). after a while it switches back to: rtorrent [tracker timed out].

@top - poster: have you tried to add several other torrents from different trackers?

[FUSiON]

I've tried actually 2 private tracker with different torrents. None of these will start and ended with tracker timed out.

I will try some open trackers yet. be patient :D

Mininova and TPB tested: same prob :/

try upgrading libcurl

[anonymous]

c-ares-1.5.3 curl-7.19.2

just installed (curl with cares support) ... same prob :/

[FUSiON]

ok after recompiling rtorrent / libtorrent after the libcurl install .. it works fine

ok conclusion:

if you have a fresh debian installation you need to install the actual libcurl (  http://curl.haxx.se/download.html ) with the actual c-ares (  http://c-ares.haxx.se/ )

first install c-ares then libcurl (libcurl: ./configure --enable-ares)

After that .. compile libtorrent and rtorrent.

Hi,

I have Debian etch 64bits, now it's working! Thanks!

Please, someone can explain why this?

Thanks!

Some systems trigger the bug in libcurl and many others don't. I don't think anybody really knows the details. But since it's fixed by upgrading libcurl it's not all that important.

I had the same problem, but only after an upgrade from 0.8.2 -> 0.8.4 (it worked fine on an initial install of 0.8.2). I can confirm that the above solution worked.

Same solution for CentOS 5 with 0.12.5 and 0.8.5.

Fusions solution worked for me as well.

Using debian 4, with libtorrent 12.4 / rtorrrent 8.4.

FUSiON is a genious.

This should be on the main page or something.
