Trackers not adding from Magnet links (Debian)

Post by Riley600 »

Hi Folks,

I'm a new user and have moderate knowledge working with command lines, etc.

I recently installed Deluge on my Western Digital MyBook Live (Debian Lenny). I have configured the webUI and it all seems to be working well. However, I find that when I add a torrent from a magnet link, it only adds one tracker (openbittorrent.com) which then times out. Torrents from Mininova seem to add a proper tracker but not others. I did some research and found that this is maybe a libtorrent problem. My current Deluge version is 1.3.6 and my libtorrent version is 0.14.10.0. I see that libtorrent is up to 0.16.11 - would upgrading the libtorrent libraries perhaps address my issues with the magnet link issues? If this is the case, how would I go about upgrading the libraries (my knowledge is somewhat limited)? I also read that the Deluge developers recommend using libtorrent 0.15 - would it be better to upgrade to that version? Or is there another (much more simple) fix that I'm totally missing here?

Any help, ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks :)

Riley
