Invalid torrent file

@jokuihmemies torrent made with BitComet, that's all you need to know......
It works fine on qbittorrent tho. -
@Kevin4fm yup deleted and redownloaded multiple time and tried other browser and didnt work
-
@jokuihmemies Oh, OK. I guess @ianfontinell 's comment sums it up, though it's Interesting that no-one else has commented on the post itself about difficulties with it, especially with uTorrent being such a popular client, and your version number the one recommended by the staff here.
The only thing I can think of, if you're dead set on grabbing this one, is to install a second - backup - client. I used Transmission to test something a short while ago. It seems a really simple basic tool with hardly any 'learning curve' and it was free, so cheap enough to use once then discard, or shove in a drawer in case you ever need it again.
Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

Quick note from staff: the .torrent file itself is fine, it validates cleanly and works in current clients (as Kevin4fm and ianfontinell found in qBittorrent). The problem is on the uTorrent 2.2.1 side. That build is from 2011 and it is strict about a few things this torrent happens to use: it was created with BitComet, has very large pieces, and contains filenames in Chinese characters. Older uTorrent versions can refuse those.
Easiest fix: grab it with a current client (qBittorrent is a solid free one), or update uTorrent to a recent version. Nothing wrong with the upload itself, so no need to re-download it here.

@Kevin4fm sheeesh i had utorrent 3 before then had to use bittorrent for awhile to then go through all files on utorrent and when all done i downloaded utorrent 2 koz ppl here recommended it xD and switch from bittorrent to utorrent 2.2.1
soooo is qbittorrent better?
-
@jokuihmemies It's a personal opinion, I guess, but I switched from uT to qB ages ago, and would be seriously upset if I were to have to change back.
It has a lot of functionality if/when you want it, but it's also pretty much plug'n'play if that's your preference. I'm the kind of person who gets more excited about collecting than what it is I'm collecting, and a lot of its features are key to how I operate. uTorrent may have them too, I can't remember, but I never found them when I was using it.
Also, I've seen quite a few comments here about how bloated uTorrent has become. I think that's the main reason staff here stopped at, and recommend, uT 2.2.1, because that was the last version prior to it being 'ruined'.
I don't recall seeing any serious complaints about qB. When it's mentioned by non-users it tends to be simply "I prefer uT" not "I hate qB".

@jokuihmemies while it's true that qbittorrent doesn't display the remaining pieces on a per file basis, there are some things you can do to optimise playability mid-download:
Enable "Download in sequential order" will make pieces be downloaded in order, basically downloading one file at a time.
Enable "Download first and last pieces first" ensures that when a file starts downloading, its first and last pieces will be downloaded first, ensuring that the moov atom information is downloaded as soon as possible. And an interesting fact is that in MP4 files the moov atom is sometimes stored at the end of the file, not at the beginning. So downloading only the first pieces of an mp4 file will not always make them playable.
So if your goal is to make videos playable as soon as possible, enable the first and last pieces option.
-
@jokuihmemies Yeah, as @ianfontinell says, there are options to do the same thing in qB, once you know how.
About the only difference I'm aware of is the progress bar, which just displays as a percentage rather than showing individually which piece. I admit I kinda do miss that, cos part of my weirdness used to be loving that get "randomly" filled up in real time. I wouldn't be surprised if I used to spend more time watching that bar than I did the porn I was downloading!
-
@Kevin4fm yup and i can see which piece is downloaded so i can just forward and rewind to the spot where it has been DLed
also qbittorrent have good stuffs too. it shows u folders on the content. and also later on u can choose easily which one u want to DL or not by clicking on check/uncheck mark
