Torrent are not added

[angristan]

Sometimes, when adding torrent it just does not work :

If I add multiple torrents, I will stay on the "Add Torrents" window, but the other torrents will be added.

Here is what nodejs tells us :

Trace: { [Error: XML-RPC fault: Call XML not a proper XML-RPC call.  Call is not valid XML.  Invalid XML "content".  Problem with token at '<...': unclosed token]
  code: -503,

Thanks for the issue, I've not seen this before.

Are you adding torrents by URLs or by uploading the torrent files?

[angristan]

In this case it's files, but I think it already happened with magnet, I'm not sure anymore

[Flyy-y]

Hey, i'm getting the same issue, only with some torrents, adding with files.

[jfurrow]

@angristan @Flyy-y could either of you provide an example of a torrent that exhibits this behavior? I can't seem to reproduce :(

[angristan]

If I find one again, I'll post here

[jfurrow]

Thanks. I almost exclusively add torrents via URL but I'll start downloading them to try to reproduce.

I had this issue with all my torrents files containing accents or strange characters (like °, or ç, etc). Renaming the torrent file with a simple name resolved this !

Hope it helps :)

[angristan]

Another problem with this torrent. Renaming the file didn't help

@angristan You can increase the allowed size of XML RPC commands with the this setting in your rtorrent.rc file: network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set = 2000000 (this is approx 2MB)

[jfurrow]

@HarryLafranc @Flyy-y @angristan The issue with torrent filenames was fixed by #196. Thanks for your patience!

[beadon]

@jfurrow - I think the xmlrpc size limit is causing a lot of weird errors for everyone. Can I request that the UI report some kind of error to the user to tune this parameter if it's not set ?

[jfurrow]

@beadon Yeah that's a good idea, can you create an issue for that?
