Issue #21 new

daguej created an issue 2015-08-27

Certain servers are misconfigured to serve .torrent files with HTTP compression (Content-Encoding: gzip) even though the request does not have Accept-Encoding: gzip.

This breaks YaRSS with the error

Unable to decode torrent file! (invalid bencoding) URL: ...

YaRSS should be able to deal with compressed torrent files.

Do these torrents work if added directly to Deluge?

Yes. If I download the torrent file with my browser and manually add to Deluge, it works fine.

Also, if I put the downloaded torrent file on my own HTTP server and create an RSS feed that points to it, YaRSS works.

I meant if you insert the url of the torrent into the URL field in the Add Torrent dialog in deluge.

Yes, that works.

Do you have a link to an RSS feed I can test?

Can you try again with the latest version (1.4.2)?
