Error: Short Read on Raspberry Pi Torrent Box

Hello all,
On some trackers I get an error: short read. It means I can't really connect to peers to seed.

I'm running deluge 1.3.3 on both pis I am seeding from and both have the same error. I'm not sure how to update -
?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. The second one sounds like what I need (as it's for the Pi running Raspian), however it seems like an installation guide. I've already got the thing up and running, but I'm not too sure how to update Libtorrent within the Deluge daemon.
I'm sorry for being incompetent, but linux is new to me, as is using CLIs.

You are installing a new version of libtorrent...

Just to clarify, there is no way to update the version of Deluge to use the latest version of lib torrent?

I think you have to install the version of libtorrent that you want before installing Deluge.
The installation of Deluge will have a dependency on a minimum version number of lt, and if you don't have a later one installed at that point it will get whatever one is available in your software sources. Which if it's giving you deluge 1.3.3 is probably archaic as that version came out 4 years ago.
Everything from "its now time to install libtorrent" in the raspberrypi.org link in the earlier post is relevant to you. It'll show you how to update your software sources and then install libtorrent and Deluge.

Thanks for the explanation.
So I have deluge already installed and I'm grabbing the newer version of libtorrent. Problem is it fails to compile libtorrent once extracted. Do you think the debian release of deluge on here would work on my Pi? I'm a little reluctant to rebuild the OS however.

I'm amazed there isn't a simple binary install for the pi. It's not like the architecture differs at all.

Yeah, It's pretty strange. I think I've found a guide that allows installation of newer versions to the Pi. I'll post it here if it works.

I have used a guide on a fresh OS on my Pi to get deluge 1.3.11 and libtorrent 0.15.10.0 installed.
http://www.onepitwopi.com/raspberry-pi/ ... pberry-pi/ I am still getting the short read error on torrents from privatehd.to
When running a local daemon on my Windows 10 machine, the torrents do not have this issue (although some torrents randomly say they have an error, even though there doesn't seem to be one).
