infohash and trackers

Post by PTPP »

Hi,

I have problem with 1.3.5 deluge. If I add a new torrent using only the infohash and nothing else, no trackers, nothing, deluge still, somehow, magically finds trackers from somewhere and connects to them. Where does it find the trackers? Why does it connect to them when I have not defined a single one? And, how can I stop deluge from doing that?

This is just some random infohash from torrentz.eu search: 5201a1b4590c0fe26403c371f84e3ee8515d9d0a

It connected to udp://tracker.yify-torrents.com/announce, but the behavior is that if the connect fails, it would still find some other tracker to connect to. The GUI shows the seeders and peers in parenthesis, like with any other torrent that uses trackers, like seeders: 100 (245), peers: 2 (30).

You will get seeders and peers if you have DHT enabled. Where are you seeing information that it is contacting trackers?

It said so in both Status and Details tabs under the item Tracker. The tracker list itself is empty (because I didn't add any trackers). Let's attach screenshot so you'll see it. In this screenshot the tracker it got is ccc.de, but in error state, so soon it would connect to some other tracker...

My original question was that why does deluge connect to trackers when they haven't been defined and how this can be stopped?

This must be a bug in libtorrent. What version are you using?

libtorrent: 0.16.3.0

I'm not 100% sure but I thin the problem did appear after I upgraded to latest Ubuntu server (which runs the deluge server).

You need to report it to libtorrent bug tracker then: https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/list

This from libtorrent developer (https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/is ... =404&can=5):

"There's an extension in libtorrent called tracker exchange, which works a bit like peer exchange, but for trackers. It's added as part of the default extensions in libtorrent. deluge could opt out of it when creating the session."

So can this be done?
