[Software Release] GayTor.rent Upload Utility

[guya]

@vancer Hi, just came across this tool but was wondering is there a guide on how to use it as I can't seem to find it (might just be me!)? I'm keen to try to use it as I'm using Qbittorrent.

[vancer]

@guya-0 Hi! Currently there is no full guide on how to use the software aside from the few notes I have in my initial post that I suggest you read.
Aside from this the usage is pretty much straightforward, although if you have any questions feel free to DM me!

@vancer Finally tried to launch GUU but it just shows 'checking for updates' then disappears/crashes! Its the latest version & I'm on Windows 10 & latest Qbitorrent. Am I doing something wrong?

@guya-0 did you manage to get it working yet?

[guya]

@ianfontinell-0 Unforunately no, still crashes everytime I launch it!

@guya-0 press Winkey+R, run this and paste the log content here in the topic:

%appdata%\guu\log.txt

@ianfontinell-0 Here's the log ...

INFO | (null) | "GayTor.rent Upload Utility" 18
INFO | (null) | Showing splash screen
INFO | (null) | Loading settings

INFO | (null) | Checking for updates

Thanks for helping by the way, much appreciated.

@guya-0 that definitely looks like something is force-killing the app when it connects to its server to check for updates, most likely it's your antivirus, or windows defender in case you don't have any AV software installed.

HELLO GETTING THIS ERROR

[EugeneGabija]

HERES THE LOG MESSAGE CRITICAL | (null) | Error downloading torrent: 200 ""

[ianfontinell]

@EugeneGabija-0 check if the torrent you just created show up in this page: https://www.gaytor.rent/mytorrents.php

if it does, try downloading it and adding to your client to see if it works.

the 200 response does not indicate an error, it means OK, so GUU likely was able to download the torrent file, and it is probably something else preventing it from checking it.

@ianfontinell-0
DO YOU THINK reinstalling the client would help? because problem persists

[ianfontinell]

@EugeneGabija-0 I'll send you a PM

[vancer]

@EugeneGabija-0 Hi, sorry for the late reply, I saw your comment but completely forgot to message you.
Did it end up working or is it still showing the error? I can take a closer look if it still happens, so please let me know. Thanks.

@vancer while i was assisting we discovered that he had a upload restriction. i would suggest that you add a check before raising the torrent verification error message, to see if the upload really worked, for example checking if the first entry from https://www.gaytor.rent/mytorrents.php matches what was just uploaded.

I am having the exact same issue with version 18 running on Windows 10. Virus & Threat Protection says that nothing has been blocked.

I got the program to run on Windows 11 on a different computer but I'd still like to know why it will not launch correctly on Windows 10.

[ianfontinell]

@mrsean I use W10 and it works fine. Maybe there could be a hint in the Event Log but without being able to replicate the issue it's hard to assess.

[vancer]

@ianfontinell-0 That's basically what the verification process does. It checks if the upload attempt is successful (it checks by trying to download the uploaded torrent). Although I guess the message is kind of misleading, I will try to refine the uploading process.

[vancer]

@mrsean The logs stop right after "Checking for updates" and the program crashes?
If this is not the case could you share the logs? They can be found at %APPDATA%/guu/log.txt on Windows.
I'll do some more testing to see if I can replicate it.
