Download torrent

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.uploading to certain trackers
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It works uploads but the problem is we need to redownload the .torrent from 
site , 1 it moves says not registered with tracker

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I have found if i upload it then reset and upload it again it will then 
download the .torrent to seed as a dupe and this works . I cannot add to 
rtorrent automation as everything sits dead until i get online and reup 
everything. I have noticed some sites automatically offer the download of new 
.torrent after upload but even there it doesn't use that . If you could point 
me in the right direction i would try and get it to download then seed rather 
than it moving the original .torrent it makes to seed

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.
