1.3.0 gives "unexpected code byte" on several torrents

[jwhite530]

I have several torrents which Deluge refuses to open, but work fine in Transmission and uTorrent. I'm not sure why this is or if there is a way to fix it, any ideas?

The only work around I have is to use a different torrent program. Not exactly ideal.

Deluged: 1.3.0
Deluge-web: 1.3.0
Host: Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64
Browser: Chrome 5.0.375.28 dev
libtorrent: No idea how to check the version.

Here is the relevant portion of the log:

In 1.3.1 I have same problem. Please help!

From the logs I assume you are using the webui to add the torrent, have you tried adding it using other clients?

[smbody]

I tried to using console and all the added without problem. Thank you!

Use the console is not very comfortable going to hope that will make the necessary corrections in the WEB UI.

If you could create a bug ticket that would be helpful. If possible supply details of the torrent causing the issue.

Instead of using console you could setup thinclient access and use the GTK client to connect to your server.
