Impossible to add torrents

[tdm-fr]

Hello,

Joal runned perfectly for a few weeks but stopped working. After a few tries I deleted everything in my docker and started from scratch : I still have the issue.

When adding a torrent, Joal tries to "initiate" (I think) the connection and during 10 seconds there are only interrogation marks for seeders, leechers and B/s. Then after this 10 seconds the torrents disappear on the UI. It is put in the "archived" folder.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, especially since it stopped working without any reason (no change to report on my part).

Have you ever encountered this issue ? Do you need more information from me to be able to troubleshoot ?

Regards, tdm-fr

Actually it might be the website that is blocking this. I tried an ubuntu torrent and it's working fine.

Here are the logs from docker: `[WARN ] 2023-03-20 16:00:44.997 [ annnouncer-1] o.a.j.c.t.c.a.Announcer: $KCSÈÿÏÃ/bÅ£ í¡ has failed to announce

Ok found the solution, or at least the reason. If I choose a torrent around one years old it works. If the torrent is older (3, 4, 5 years, ...) it doesn't work. I don't know why because no matter the age of the torrent it's downloading in a bittorrent client, it's only Joal who seems to have an issue.

Always use torrent file recently downloaded from the tracker indeed.

I know why it's like that, i'll fix this in future versions. ;)

Thanks for you answer ! In any case I managed to work with it for the moment :)
