Failed to load the torrent: torrent file is not a dictionary

Post by cookymunster »

Hi

I have multiple search engines installed that are enabled and up to date. "TorrentReactor" is the only one that comes up with "Failed to load the torrent: torrent file is not a dictionary"

Over all I am now getting very poor search results and "TorrentReactor" is the only one that is giving results but failing to load torrents.

I have a Plusnet router through a BT OpenReach modem for 76mb Fibre.

OK so I tried a Socks 5 Proxy from http://www.socks-proxy.net/ and it seems to have worked.

BUT... Only TorrentReactor engine is giving search results, no other engine is contributing to my searches.

Is your ISP one that has complied with the various court orders to block access to certain named torrent indexing sites?

Hi, Yes they must have, is there a way of altering the .py file to include proxy sites?

Thanks

Nope, the proxy defined in the client is for libtorrent to use, and as libtorrent only  'speaks' bittorrent it can't 'talk' to search engines.
