Re: Torrents hosted by torrage.com don't work
It works fine for me, it must have been the file you were trying... I tried the one that's listed right on their front page.
http://torrage.com/torrent/640FE84C613C ... BE.torrent
http://torrage.com/torrent/640FE84C613C ... BE.torrent

Re: Torrents hosted by torrage.com don't work
which version of deluge are you using?
Re: Torrents hosted by torrage.com don't work
deluge 1.1.9johnnyg wrote:which version of deluge are you using?
libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14.4
python 2.6.2
I have a feeling python 2.6 is the cause of this issue .

Can anyone confirm this works with python 2.6 ?Nezmer wrote: I have a feeling python 2.6 is the cause of this issue .

Re: Torrents hosted by torrage.com don't work
Are you downloading the torrent through your browser or passing the url directly to deluge? The latter could be causing the problem:

Oh , that was really relevant .johnnyg wrote:Are you downloading the torrent through your browser or passing the url directly to deluge?

The torrent file was saved to disk then opened with deluge . I just tested this with firefox (opening directly or saving first) and It works .
Passing the url directly does not work but that's not the big problem . The big problem is webkit does not understand gzip compression too . That means all users of e.g epiphany 2.28.x will have this problem . So this issue will show up when the next Ubuntu is released .
I think the developers should at least try to find a python solution so adding the url directly works from deluge . The webkit developers are aware (I'm sure) of the situation and they will add gzip compression when possible* .
No complaints from me now that I understand the problem . But I'm sure future gnome users will complain .
* webkit(gtk) 1.14 released earlier this month is installed in my system .

Wow, made of fail on webkit's behalf.
Isn't it more a browser's duty to support compression than a bittorrent's?
That said I'll look into adding support for gzip decoding to deluge (then we can be better than webkit ).
Do you know of any other sites that do this or is it a one-off?

Re: [explained]Torrents hosted by torrage.com don't work
If you mean torrent sites , this is the 1st time I encounter this problem . So It's obviously not used in the 5+ sites I fetch torrents from usually .johnnyg wrote: Do you know of any other sites that do this or is it a one-off?
But in general , some sites actually do use gzip compression . This issue was brought up before in a forum thread* discussing Midori (another excellent webkit-based browser) .
