DEF CON 32 torrent fails to be added with "unrecognized info" error #7162

Closed LackThereof closed 2 days ago

What is the issue?

When attempting to add DEF CON 32 v2.torrent via either web interface or Transmission Remote GUI v5.18.0, I recieve an error message similar to the following

Error adding "DEF CON 32 v2.torrent": unrecognized info

I assume the torrent is correctly created because I generally trust the defcon media team to know what they're doing. Error message is nonspecific, though, so I'm not confident.

Transmission daemon 4.0.6 (38c164933e) running on Windows 10 Home v22H2 (19045.5011)

Which application of Transmission?

transmission-daemon

Which version of Transmission?

4.0.6

I do think this is because v2 indicates torrent v2 format.

Transmission does not support v2-only torrents, only v1 and v2 hybrid ones. https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/5560

I think you can use v1 counterpart and go with it.
