Problem swapping torrent.
« on: January 05, 2010, 04:36:00 PM »
I was wondering if anyone could offer some help on this.  I'm currently making an offer and need to swap out the .torrent file, and it just doesn't seem to be happening correctly.  After the swap, I can see that a different .torrent file is downloaded when I click on the button, but it seems to contain old data - the filename and hash included is for the old .rar file I had.

At first, I thought I just swapped in the wrong .torrent file, but now after three attempts the same thing happened.  I've deleted all .torrent files to eliminate the possibility of accidentally uploading the wrong file and recreated/swapped it.  Loading this file directly into uTorrent works fine, but after the swap, the downloaded .torrent file again points at the old file.

The torrent only contains 1 rar file.  The new rar name begins with two underscores has underscores instead of spaces in the rest of the name.

I'm quite miffed about what's going on and was hoping someone might have some clue as to what's going on.

A mod has to approve the swap.

Edit: It would have helped if you linked what torrent it was. I think I figured out which one. Anyways, not sure what's going on now.

It is quite possible this is a bug related with the new torrent status update.
We'll look into it and hopefully it will be sorted out as soon as possible....

Edit: It's a display error, don't worry the torrent content is ok, filelist has only failed to update - it will be fixed soon.

Actually, I looked at the .torrent file that gets downloaded and it's definitely incorrect.

For future reference, should a problem like this be reported via the help form, or is this the place to do it?

Edit:
Err... scratch that.  The File List is correct.  The .torrent isn't.

Edit2:
I just checked.  The Info Hash of the .torrent that gets downloaded does NOT match the Info Hash displayed on the download button.

As I see it filelist on the description page shows __Okawari__Sex_Warr ior_Isane_XXX__Isan e_v2_-_Break_Away_-_Eng_.rar
But when I actually download the torrent uTorrent shows [Okawari] Sex Warrior Isane XXX (Isane v2 - Break Away - Eng).rar

So I'm assuming the filelist is wrong... No?

P.S. Use the report site errors here thread next time.

No, that's actually backwards.  The filelist is correct (the original filename that I'm swapping in has underscores).  If you missed my edit, the .torrent file is incorrect, and the .torrent hash doesn't match the hash show on the download button.

Why would you do that, we require you to replace _ with proper signs in the first place...
Rapidshare and similar hosts add them, we prefer the original name with [] and spaces...

Sorry, I didn't realize.  It's been quite a while since I've uploaded.  I tracked down the original scanner and found that what he had differed from my .rar so I swapped to his version.  I'll rename and swap now.  Maybe the swap will fix the problem this time around?

On occasion you'll find that groups actually do release the archive like that. I noticed that a few times when I saw a group's torrents and ddl like that.

FYI, the swap didn't seem to fix the problem and the hash on the .torrent file is still different than what's listed on the download button.
