hello

new to the qbittorrent, upgraded from utorrent after they started serving ads so hello!

anyhow

I notice something strange, when I add an HTTP seed url, or HTTPs seed url, it tells me peer banned? any reason why?

Absolutely no idea, you should ask whomever provides the 'web seed(s)' why this is so first of all.

how do I see what the IP address is for banned peer? Could be an specific issue with an host provider but I received no email from him

I have one seed
as

The%20Power%20of%20Israel%20in%20the%20United%20States/0932863515.pdf

and the other as

0932863515.pdf/The Power of Israel in the United States/0932863515.pdf

Do you use an ip filter in qBittorrent at all?

Also, what a document about the evil lizard people.. .

[sledgehammer_999]

Use v3.2.0. It will likely include a reason on why a peer was banned.

error returns as 416 range not satisfiable , using qibttorrent 3.2

Can you post a screenshot with the log entry? I cannot understand the format you posted.

sure here are is what is happening (pictures attached)

for some reason my webseed ips are banned (not using an ip filter)

5/18/2015 8:19:11 PM - 204.152.255.23 was banned
5/18/2015 8:20:47 PM - 107.20.189.226 was banned

204 goes to http://204.152.255.23/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi which is my hosting provider, not sure why this is being banned by qbittorrent?

107.20.189.226 shows an dropbox splash page,

"banned" does not mean 'banned permanently' ,  it just means 'blocked a 'bad' piece".

libtorrent 1.0+ (qbt 3.2.0) has better reporting rather than labelling everything as 'banned'

Although there is this index.php/topic,2951.15.html is your "webseed" is listening on the stabdard HTTP:/HTTPS: ports.

Just as a quick note.
Dropbox unlikely is serving as a webseed. As far as I have heard, they even blocked that functionality for some reason (I did a little research as I was going to do the same, to back up some files).
With µTorrent for example, you would get some "b0rked" failure (can't remember the full name for it, haven't been using µTorrent for a looooong time).

If you want a webseed, look for a good hosting provider. Sadly, most free providers with limited bandwidth (and especially unlimited bandwidth) block such webseeds (my example: quickly uploaded a little mp4-file to my hosting space, tried to download it; webseed changes from *.*.net/file.mp4 to *.net/403).
