"Couldn't connect to server" #1218

Open LeTink opened 1 year ago

LeTink commented 1 year ago

rTorrent 0.9.7/0.13.7 - raspberrypi:5039 When running rtorrent w/o any config it works fine, but I'd like to retain session info so it picks up where it left off when I need to restart the pi. When I use the "modern template" and make it match my own directory layout rtorrent seems unable to connect to any trackers.

From the documentation (and the FAQ) it is unclear to me which settings might be affecting this behaviour.

I have tried several variations of:

dht.mode.set = auto
protocol.pex.set = yes
trackers.use_udp.set = no

none of which seem to make a difference.

Barking up wrong trees. Apparently there's a problem when rtorrent fails to reach the first tracker listed, it just gives up when the http at the top of the list doesn't answer, ignoring the following working 8 udp trackers ... but only when it finds a config file. The same torrent file works fine if there's no config what-so-ever. Bizarre.
