Greetings:

I wanted a resource-friendly torrent client which I could use on the console, so I installed rtorrent 0.9.0 using sbopkg.

I'm trying to seed Slackware's ISOs (among other things), but I get these strange error messages:

slackware64-14.1-iso:

Tracker: [Failure reason "Your client's "key" parameter and the key we have for you in our database do not match."]

slackware-14.1-iso:

Tracker: [Failure reason "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker"]

I've looked for similar threads in this forum, but I haven't found anything. Other users seem to have similar problems in other distros, but I haven't found a useful answer yet.

The strange thing is that this ONLY happens to me when trying to seed Slackware's ISOs

How could I solve this?.

Thanks.

Possibly torrent's ID and ISO's do not match. You can either
a- use magnet link
b- find the exact torrent file (may or may not work)
c- create a new torrent for the ISO and upload it.

These were torrents downloaded from the Slackware site, where there isn't a magnet link.

I've diff'ed the files with the torrents that I have, and no difference was to be found.

Frankly, I don't know how to create torrents

I updated rTorrent to 0.9.4 and libtorrent to 0.13.4 and the messages seem to have disappeared, but there isn't much movement in midweek... I'll wait to the weekend and see.

It must have been that the versions of libtorrent and rTorrent that I was using had some bug, because since I updated them, there have been no more problems. Go figure.

Well, I hope this thread may help someone looking for a solution, at least.
