I have a similar issue; the upload works oke but the resulting page (where one
can download the torrent), will offer the url
http://domain.tld/download.php/UNIQUE_ID/$NAME.torrent.
$NAME is the same as in the upload-bash script, ID is a auto-number from the
database it gets sent to. Tried to modify the wget-statement in "upload" using
SED but that doesn't seem to work.
Other trackers I visit have a similar URL and overall uploading works like a
charm but the resulting download doesn't happen; instead the torrent that was
created from my machine gets sent to my watch-dir and then shows as "torrent
not registered with this tracker".
Running Ubuntu Server 9.10 / latest perl, mktorrent, fast_resume, rtorrent
0.8.6 and libtorrent 12.6

The upload script expects that the torrent file does not need to be downloaded
again. It is very simple for site owners to allow you to upload the torrent
file with your personal passkey embedded. The website can then remove your
passkey and store the torrent. As long as they don't insert any comment into
the torrent it should be the exact same file that you already have on your
server, so it would be pointless for you to download the torrent again, and
would only take extra time.
If the site you are on always requires you to re-download the torrent after you
have uploaded I suggest you ask the site owner/developer to add the about 5
lines of code that should fix this problem (should be available on TBDEV.NET).
The upload script was created to upload torrents and start seeding them as fast
as possible and adding an extra download step would take extra time which is
unnecessary.
